Idiom #261 Format time hours-minutes-seconds

Assign to the string x the value of fields (hours, minutes, seconds) of the date d, in format HH:MM:SS.

(define d (current-date))
(define x (substring (date-and-time d) 11 19))

Chez Scheme; `date-and-time` always returns string with the same format and same length
with Ada.Calendar.Formatting;
X : constant String :=
    Ada.Calendar.Formatting.Image (D) (12 .. 19);

Image returns date as well therefore the slice
