I think we should deprecate ‘strftime’ and ‘strptime’: (srfi srfi-19)
provides similar functionality, it uses (ice-9 i18n) for the locale
stuff, and it has a better API.

Just a heads-up.  I don't consider SRFI 19 to have a very good API, and I'm working on a pre-SRFI for dates and times.  There is an outline of it (very subject to change) at <https://bitbucket.org/cowan/r7rs-wg1-infra/src/default/TimeAdvancedCowan.md>.   Note that it does not do localization except for timezones, however, so is probably not directly relevant.  I'd appreciate review comments at address@hidden anyway.  Thanks.

Is a chair finely made tragic or comic? Is the portrait of Mona Lisa
good if I desire to see it? Is the bust of Sir Philip Crampton lyrical,
epical or dramatic?  If a man hacking in fury at a block of wood make
there an image of a cow, is that image a work of art? If not, why not?
