Description
Description
in datetime.display there is a repr option for month, I'd also like one for day that allows the use of ordinals. For example:
#datetime(year: 2024, month: 08, day: 04).display("[day repr:ordinal] of [month repr:long] [year])
would turn into
4th of August 2021
what to name the repr I don't really care, just used ordinal as an example
Use Case
Displaying dates in a consistent matter that is more catered toward humans than machines, such as a diary/log entry in a book.
