That's an interesting date format!
One thing you might want to change is the second return in the leadZero
handler. The way it is now you either return a string or a number,
depending on whether or not the number is less than 10. If you change
the second return to this then it will always return a string:
return "" & x
What you have right now works simply because you later coerce the
returned value to a string, so it doesn't matter if it is a string or a
number. If you put the coercion into the handler in the first place
you cut down the chances of a bug down the road.
