I don't think the old method of function naming is necessarily bad. If 
anything it helps people who come from C/C++ environment since the functions 
they are already familiar are readily avaliable under the same name. For 
functions that are completely new, I wouldn't even bother to argue and just 
rename it. But in this case I think it would be counter intuitive to name the 
function by anything else other then it's C equivalent.
This is especially apparent in this case since not a single time related 
function has a time_* prefix, making it very difficult to find this function 
in a manual search etc...
