Description
```
It's useful to be able to specify a format for datetime values. I've attached a
diff that provides this functionality, basically by copying the float and int
formatting. It's applied to any object with a "strftime" method, which catches
date, time and datetime.
The validation of the format is pretty minimal, because you can put basically
anything in a strftime format. I wondered whether it was worth it, but I left
it as it's easier to extend the checks in the future if needed.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached prettytable.diff and the existing float and int formatting implementation. Confirm how the proposed formatting applies to objects with a strftime method, including date, time, and datetime instances, and ensure the requested formatting behavior is covered.
