Also because these names are not easily memorized. 'strftime' and
fprintftime is halfway reasonable, but 'ctime' and 'asctime' are not.
For the variants with more arguments,
str_from_time
str_from_timespec
str_from_tm
sound good.
For the ones that operate in the C locale and are
meant as replacements for ctime and asctime, either
safer_ctime
safer_asctime
or
c_strnl_from_time
c_strnl_from_tm
would be OK with me. ("strnl" because they return a string that ends
in a newline.)
