Re: Re: #21212 [Opn->Bgs]: strftime fails when crossing year

The definition of %G already says that alternate prior/subsequent years may be returned *and* makes reference to the difinition of %V which defines precisely how ISO years are defined. It also references %Y as an alternate. Unless others report problems with understanding this manual page as it is, I'd rather just file this under a user-rtfm problem. -Pollita
