Specifiers that have a calendaric component such as `'d'` (the day of month)
are valid only for ``std::tm`` and not durations or time points.
``std::tm`` uses the system's `strftime
<http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/c/strftime>`_ so refer to its
documentation for details on supported conversion specifiers.
