a couple of things here:

* i'm not sure i'd bother with the precision/padding specs.  just pick
some sane default, and use it.  this doesn't need to be infinitely
flexible, just serve its purpose, and that seems overkill (that could
be added later if people really needed it).

* it's probably useful to add a specifier for the process start time
(p->p_stats->p_start) as well.
