Hi Rafal,

This documentation patch is too vague, IMO. It purports to document
"Specify when to use %OB instead of %B." But as a programmer who is not
aware of Polish and Greek grammar, it does not precisely answer the question:
When should I use %OB, and when should I use %B, in strftime?
I would look in time.texi; I find the answer too vague: "as part of a
complete date".
Is 24 January 2018 a complete date? I'd guess yes.
Is 24 January a complete date? I'd guess no.
Is January 2018 a complete date? I'd guess no.
Is January a complete date? I guess you meant no.
Is that what you intended to mean?
Bruno
