I'd second the strenuous objection. The 1900 base is not just a Unix
thing - as far as I know it's part of ANSI C. It certainly works the
same way in every C implementation I've used, on Mac, Windows, & VMS.
Even though struct Tm isn't quite the same as struct tm, I'd hate to
see them made even more subtly incompatible. As Doug Gwyn said the
other day, standards have a purpose.
I'd be fine with the change to make Mr Presotto's birthday day 1 (or
should it be day 0?) though. I believe the standard is silent on this
point.
