Localization of abbreviated day names
Another issue regarding the to_char localization: DY is documented to use 3
characters, but in German week names are abbreviated to 2 characters. Other
languages will likely have related issues. What should we do here? I'd
favor that we change the 3 characters to "some fixed length". Other ideas?

Docs updated to:
"3 chars in English, localized lengths vary"
