[lang] new token for FastDateFormat

I just noticed that there's no way to output the milliseconds since
1970 with SimpleDateFormat (or with FastDateFormat). Any interest in
having a token for FastDateFormat that lets you do that?

Please, anyone with german knowledge can translate the missing parts in
exceptions.xml?

Thanx

Woody

PS: David, I know you knows german (because you write this xml) but can you
do this?

Damn. I'd thought that this class would be new in 2.1. That's a pain.

Given that a formatting pattern is a String, I'm sure you can see many
reasons why solutions that involve coding bits of Java are bad :)

Last time I checked, Long.toString(date.getTime()) did that anyway, and in less
characters :)

Adding any token would be a backwards incompatible change, as it would 
previously have been output as text.

Why not just have a DateUtils.getMillisAsText(Date) method? (Well maybe 
because it seems like a very odd case.....)
