Aha, yes, that works, and the (undocumented as far as I can see) %q parameter 
gives me nanoseconds.

No :(

I wanted microseconds, but %6q gives nothing, as does %3q (which I would 
expect to give milliseconds).

So, %S.%q gives seconds + nanoseconds, but I don't see a way to reduce the 
resolution (interestingly, Asterisk's strftime function does support this, 
also with the %q parameter).
