I can support this. Would be very helpful. It should be easy to do the
change in the man page only but a note to the upstream could be useful
as well to share that to other distributions too.

I would also note in the description of the tm struct that they could be
other members not listen in the man page. Otherwise some could see it a
way to initialize all listed members explicit.

Regards
