i'd just found this myself a little while ago. thx for confirming!

i also found the $tod_* vars, and am surprised that there are *not* simple var
equivalents for year/month/day/date/hour/min/sec. i'd have thought those were
the basic building blocks ...

but your ${extract suggestion/reference should do just fine.

cheers,
