But there's more. strftime on Windows doesn't support common POSIX-

them as well. Do we want that? At least we'd have to update the
added test that uses them..
Here's the full list of tokens in POSIX [1], but not supported by
Windows [2]: %C, %D, %F, %G, %R, %T, %V, %e, %g, %h, %n, %r, %t, %u
plus the modifiers %E and %O.
I don't have a real opinion on that. The point of adding strftime was
always to give the user access to whatever their system supports. In
particular "%c" which we cannot emulate ourselves.
If people want support for those other things on platforms that don't
have it, I have no real objection. But I also don't know that it's worth
spending time on if nobody is asking for it.
Agreed; let's make the tests more focused (i.e. not exercise %F and %T
needlessly).
