== Adding your own time formats to +to_formatted_s+
You can add your own formats to the Time::DATE_FORMATS hash.
Use the format name as the hash key and either a strftime string
or Proc instance that takes a time argument as the value.

  # config/initializers/time_formats.rb
  Time::DATE_FORMATS[:month_and_year] = '%B %Y'
  Time::DATE_FORMATS[:short_ordinal]  = ->(time) { time.strftime("%B #{time.day.ordinalize}") }
