Custom TimeSpan Format with escape \ for TIME foramt

When you use format function to format time, it will error out with style which will work with datetime.
select format(cast(’05:59′ as datetime), N’hh:mm’) — works
select format(cast(’05:59′ as time), N’hh:mm’) — returns NULL

The following will work with customized format (escape the : and . if there is any)

select format(cast(’05:59′ as time), N’hh\:mm’) –works
