dtrace: give %'d a chance?

[Ash Gokhale]

I'm not a fan of reading nanosecond timestamps ; however This would add
work to downstream scripts  that have to toss the prettyprint later;
s|.,()<whatever>||g  downstream. Think of the wee awk scripts.
Could we gate the behaviour behind an environment DTRACE_LOCALE or whatever?

Eh It's getting harder to live in the C locale anyway, the immigration
rules seem to be tightening.
