   These are all good suggestions, but in the end, are all just kludgey   
   workarounds.  My two points in posting are:   
      
       1) There really should be a generic way to print any numeric object and   
       have the compiler "Do The Right Thing".   
      
       2) Although time_t was the specific occasion for composing and posting   
       this, it, of course, applies to all the other "artificial" numeric   
       types.  As mentioned in the OP, they seem to have come up with a   
       solution for size_t; it would be nice if that were generalized.   
      
   P.S.  I like the rhythm of "long long can't go wrong"...

      angriest and most vicious bunch of self-pitying, constantly-moaning   
      whinybutts I've ever encountered.
