Comment (by yawning):

 The only behavior mandated by IEEE Std 1003.1 for `time_t` is that it be a
 integer (or real-floating) type (older versions of the standard allow
 floating, newer do not).  IMO, assuming `time_t` is signed is a reasonable
 thing to do since every single platform I am aware of does it that way.
