I have been on this and the maintainers list for more than a decade. Hello
all.

Today I ran into trouble with datenum('2021-07-21 09:00:00.987'). The
fractional part. But what I soon found is that this: datenum('2021-07-21
09:00:00.987','yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS.FFF') works just fine. (This is of
course a primary use case of those who would analyze SQL data.)

OK, so a lot of the time I spent waiting on Matlab to hunt and complete
this conversion on some larger arrays, may have been significantly
SHORTENED had I done it right in the first place!

(Thank you Octave)

Looking at datevec.m, none of the std_formats have FFF, so likely enhancing
the search (though it works on Matlab) makes no sense. Does it?

THANK YOU!
