nit: while
Alkso, does this delete the value too if you end up removing?

[marja, 2012/08/27 07:37:18]

Done. It deletes the value, the docs say: "If |out_value| is NULL, the removed
value will be deleted."

I thought we had conversion routines some where, but maybe I'm wrong?

[marja, 2012/08/27 07:37:18]

I was also a bit surprised that there is nothing in base/time.h. If we have
something, it's not very discoverable... :/
