Description:
------------
The document of strptime() function using the following define:

array strptime ( string timestamp, string format )

timestamp (string)
    A timestamp (e.g. returned from strftime()) 

However, "timestamp" here is not actually a timestamp(seconds since Unix Epoch).  It's a string value likely returned from strftime().

Maybe changing "timestamp" to another less confusing word is a good idea.
