In such cases it's usually useful to check what BSD libc implementations do;
for example, FreeBSD documents provision of '-', '_', '0' flags:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=strftime
Thus I think providing -_0 in musl makes sense to consider, given significant
precedent and low implementation cost.
