Description

Globalize("haw").formatDate(new Date(), {datetime: "short"}) throws Error: E_UNSUPPORTED: Unsupported {"feature":"timezone patternv"}. But, what happens is that /main/haw/.../dateFormats/short is actually an object instead of a string (expected).

              "short": {
                "_value": "d/M/yy",
                "_numbers": "M=romanlow"
              }

haw and haw-US seems to be the only locales affected.

  1. Find such case in the UTS#35 specification.
  2. Fix implementation.
