Is there a method to retrieve date format with moment?

I am using moment. I format my date with moment().format('LLL'). Depending on locale it will display the date in the locale format. However I would need to know what format is used :

In moment js files (inner code), I can find 

longDateFormat : {
            LT : 'HH:mm',
            LTS : 'HH:mm:ss',
            L : 'DD/MM/YYYY',
            LL : 'D MMMM YYYY',
            LLL : 'D MMMM YYYY HH:mm',
            LLLL : 'dddd D MMMM YYYY HH:mm'
        },

But I don't know if there is a method to access.

Is there a method to say 'hey moment what is the format for this locale and LL' and it would return D MMMM YYYY.

moment().locale('fr').getFormatFor('LL') // output  D MMMM YYYY

Thanks,

Stéphane.

The functionality you are looking for is added in version 2.8.0 and higher.
