Re: [DIFF] strftime() style time formatting for #log command

While I welcome the new change (thank you), keep in mind that you can do:

#log {$LOGTIMESTAMP.txt}

I have it placed in my startup file, which, in effect, starts a new
logfile for each session.  With a nice descriptive filename.

Thanks again.
