This is super useful, but the format should be "HH:mm:ss.SSS" (three big S's). The fourth S puts a 0 at the end of all values.

There are many convenient options now:

    let date = Date.now
    let formattedFractional = date.formatted(.dateTime.hour().minute().second().secondFraction(.fractional(3)))
    // example: "8:07:48.145 AM"
    print(formattedFractional)
