This is an excellent idea.  ctime(3) is a horrible interface.

Should we consider switching to a saner date and time format as the
default as well while we're at it?  I always use %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S for any
new code that I write, since it's an ISO standard, the least ambiguous
across countries and has the fewest localization problems.
