*
* This header holds a number of random functions related to strings,
* time, the filesystem, and other simple tasks that don't require a
* full separate API. For the most part, the functions here are
* entirely standalone, depending only on POSIX functions, however
* there are a few that depend explicitly on a few other APIs. Those
* are noted.

* A note on the 2038 problem: as long as sizeof(long) >= 8, that is,
* as long as the long data type is 64 bits or more, then everything
* should be fine. On most, if not, all, 64-bit systems, long is 64
* bits. I would expect Cytoplasm to break for 32 bit systems
* eventually, but we should have a ways to go before that happens.
* I didn't want to try to hack together some system to store larger
* numbers than the architecture supports. But we can always
* re-evaluate over the next few years.
