+ This function uses a user-configurable function to convert the creation

+ this for a particular formatter instance, set the ``converter`` attribute
+ to a function with the same signature as :func:`time.localtime` or

+ want all logging times to be shown in GMT, set the ``converter``
+ attribute in the ``Formatter`` class.
