There is no documentation of all the allowed format characters for arrow.get() and Arrow.format(). The documentation mentions a few examples, like arrow.get('June was born in May 1980', 'MMMM YYYY') and arrow.utcnow().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss ZZ'), but these are far from exhaustive.
For example, how does one output a human-readable weekday name, like "Thursday, July 4"? Even python's datetime has datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%A') and datetime.date.today().strftime('%A'). Surely arrow can at least do this in its format()?
The source of parser.py and formatter.py show quite a few format characters that aren't exhibited in the documentation. Please document the meaning of/difference between all these.
