No, that was unintended.

Hm...  perhaps `format-second' should get support for fractional
seconds?  Introducing a new format spec should be easy enough, but what
should the format be?

%5s means front-padding with spaces so that it's 5 characters wide.
What about...  %5.2s to front-pad, and have two decimals?  Oh, yeah,
that's just the normal floating point spec; duh.

Should be trivial to implement.
