Source: TODO.md §4.2 (at 669b2b3)

time, clock_gettime, clock_getres, gettimeofday
localtime_r, gmtime_r, mktime, timegm, difftime
strftime, strptime
clock, times

strftime(3) returns 0 for both "the output was empty" and "it did not fit",
which is the bounded-write ambiguity aksl_snprintf already resolves -- so the
resolution is already designed, it just has to be applied here.

Files: src/, include/akstdlib.h
