I'm not talking about all API in general, I'm talking about ctime
specifically. People will ask "where is ctime?", and it better be
where they think it should be. I don't see a point in confusing
users.

(Plus, there might be systems that associate yet a different meaning
with ctime - it is just our guess that it means "status change time").
