Someone filed a bug report wanting it to be mentioned that most libc
implementations of strptime don't handle %Z. Michael asked whether
_strptime was going to become the permanent version of time.strptime or
not. This was partially discussed back when Guido used his amazing time
machine to make time.strptime use _strptime exclusively for testing
purposes.
I vaguely remember Tim saying he supported moving to _strptime, but I
don't remember Guido having an opinion. If this is going to happen for
2.3 I would like to know so as to fix the documentation to be better.
