Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached time_facet.zip and reproducing the "l" format-code failure with the stated Boost 1.72.0, Visual Studio 2019, and Windows 10 setup. Confirm the current abort behavior and use the suggested fix as the reference for determining when the format code is recognized without aborting.
