Both fair points.

Still, how far does this go? For example, lib/parse-duration.h currently doesn't have the <config.h> reminder, even though it uses time_t and therefore is vulnerable to a bug if a program includes it without including config.h (and defining _TIME_BITS) first. Do we need to make another pass through the .h files and comments to deal with time_t, struct timespec, _TIME_BITS, etc.? And similarly for off_t?
