It doesn't look like POSIX defines a format specifier for sub-second
parts, especially glibc does not implement any:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Formatting-Calendar-Time.html#Formatting-Calendar-Time

clockoverlay is really just calling strftime() for getting a string of
the time, so it can only do what that can do.


Where did you find %L for milliseconds?
