Discussion:
The chrono-spec
grammar introduced by P1361R2 "Integration
of chrono with text formatting" in section [time.format] is ambiguous because '%'
can be
interpreted as either literal-char
or conversion-spec
:
chrono-spec ::= literal-char | conversion-spec literal-char ::= <a character other than '{' or '}'> conversion-spec ::= '%' [modifier] type

literal-char: any character other than{
,or}
, or %
