>Description:
strptime(3) claims that the conversion specifiers are exactly as those for
strftime(3); this is an exaggeration: %n %t %G %g %u %V %v %z are not
implemented in strptime.c.

>How-To-Repeat:
man 3 strptime
>Fix:

Explain that these conversions aren't implemented. If I get time, I'll
try to implement the missing ones.
