/**
 * date-format - a small .NET/Smart-style date format-token engine used for
 * `formatString` display and for parsing the masked DateTimePicker input. It is
 * locale-aware for names (month/weekday, AM/PM) via `Intl`, and framework-free.
 *
 * Supported tokens (case-sensitive, matching Smart's `formatString`):
 *   d    dd            day of month           (5, 05)
 *   ddd  dddd          weekday name           (Mon, Monday)  [locale]
 *   M    MM            month number           (6, 06)
 *   MMM  MMMM          month name             (Jun, June)    [locale]
 *   yy   yyyy          year                   (26, 2026)
 *   H    HH            hour 24                 (7, 07)
 *   h    hh            hour 12                 (7, 07)
 *   m    mm            minute
 *   s    ss            second
 *   f    ff   fff      fractional seconds      (tenths..millis)
 *   t    tt            AM/PM designator        (A, AM)        [locale]
 *
 * Anything else is a literal. Wrap literal letters in single quotes ('T') or
 * escape with a backslash (\T) to keep them out of token matching.
