Name mangling is intended mostly for internal use. If we wanted to be systematic
about it, we would need to make the library completely independent of the
standard C library, and that would require renaming struct tm as well. This
hasn't been thought through and quite possibly there would be some issues in
doing that.
That being said, if you'd like to compile with -Dtime_tz=time_t in the meantime,
nobody will stop you.
