Enumerate possible format results
~~I'm laying out some text with multiple dates and a format argument. I would like to know the maximum size of a formatted date. Calculating the size of all my formatted dates takes too much time for me.~~ (After implementing this I realized I didn't really need it, but since I already did it, here it is)
_locale
being private/not exported prevents implementing enumeration without modifying the library.
I forked the library and provided an exported enumerate
function that was implemented basically by a copy paste of _processFormat

Max string length of '%A %B'
costs 19 → 'Wednesday September'
I'm not sure this is a feature this library would be interested in supporting, but I thought I'd leave this issue here in case anyone is interested.
