## Examples

Generate a time terse string using the defaults:

    Time.terse  #=> "20201231125959000000000"

Defaults:

  * The current time

  * The UTC time zone a.k.a. Zulu time zone a.k.a. "Z" time zome.

  * Terse format: "%Y%m%d%H%M%S%N"

  * Nanosecond precision

Set a different format:

    Time.terse_format = "%M%D%H%M"

    Time.terse #=> "12311259"

The same methods are also available for an instance:

    t = Time.now

    t.terse #=> "20201231125959000000000"

    t.terse_format = "%M%D%H%M"

    t.terse #=> "12311259"
