Lack of ISO 8601 date if we use options

Continuing the last thought...
Without options we get a summary of information and an ISO 8601 date.

If we add extra options, we lose the ISO 8601 date-time (and just have the date):

Could we either have a new flag for an ISO 8601 date, perhaps -i which uses the same new strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')?
Good point. I briefly thought about that when I switched over to the ISO 8601 format by default. However, I think many people may prefer to just show the date without data in certain cases, thus, I'd leave the -d argument as is.
On the other hand, there's the -c --custom_time flag which takes a strtime string as input so that one could feed it the '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S' string manually. In any case, I agree with you, an -i, --isodate flag sounds like a good idea to me.
How about adding an --isodate flag that takes the different iso strings as input and defaults to 'ISO8601'?
I think defaulting to the full ISO 8601 spec (with the option to override)
makes the best sense, cheers :-)

The date via -d was already in YYYY-MM-DD format, the only difference between the default ISO 8601 string vs -d -t was that the former uses a "T" as separator instead of a white space. To have -t and -d (i.e., some people may only want to use one or the other, not both?!), I added a -i/--iso8601 flag in #19
