Hi, maybe you would like to ask around before doing this to prevent
duplication of work ;) I've fixed the functions, and they're attached;
you would like to look at the links below :) I haven't really looked
at your attachment (just skimmed over it), but you might want to merge
the patches, so...

Actually I don't count on merged patches being committed (remember
your patch about the docstrings?)

I've done those more than two weeks ago, but I haven't actually
committed the patches yet, since I'm still waiting for strfind (in
discussion with Alois) and strptime (needs a patch). Unfortunately,
John hasn't applied my strptime patch yet :(
