--- Comment #2 from Dan Anderson <daniel.r.anderson@icloud.com> ---
So I was looking into this because it looks like an interesting first issue.

Looking at the source code for date.c we have this:

* The strftime_ns function is a wrapper around strftime(3), which adds support
* for features absent from strftime(3). Currently, the only extra feature is
* support for %N, the nanosecond conversion specification.

So it seems that this behavior is expected, although I suppose you could always
multiple nanoseconds by 10e3.

The question then becomes what part of strftime to cover.  I will take a deeper
dive into the issue and try my hand at doing a patch.
