/*
 * NAME
 *      sub_date - the date substitution
 *
 * SYNOPSIS
 *      wstring_ty *sub_date(wstring_list_ty *arg);
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *      The sub_date function implements the date substitution.
 *      The date substitution is replaced by the current date.
 *      The optional arguments may construct format string,
 *      similar to the date(1) command.
 *
 * ARGUMENTS
 *      arg     - list of arguments, including the function name as [0]
 *
 * RETURNS
 *      a pointer to a string in dynamic memory;
 *      or NULL on error, setting suberr appropriately.
