Description:
------------
The documentation currently states.

u  	Microseconds (added in PHP 5.2.2)  	Example: 654321

which contradicts the result of bug #41806 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41806

which states that because date() only accepts an integer and uses time() which only returns an integer the 'u' formatting option will ONLY return 000000.

This severely limits the usefulness of having that 'u' formatting option.

Can the documentation either be updated to reflect that it will ONLY return '000000' OR can the date() be modified to use microtime() when possible and to accept a float so the 'u' format option can be useful.
