======Synopsis:======
$__stime__(<integer representing UTC value>)

======Technical:======
   * If the argument is omitted, this function returns the empty string.
   * The function passes the integer value you provide to the __ctime__ C Library Function and returns the result, after chopping off the trailing newline.
   * The return value of this function is supposed to be human readable.

======Practical:======
This function converts the return value of $[[time function|time]]()
into something a human being can understand.  It is a simpler version of
the $[[strftime]]() function.

======Returns:======
current date/time string in human-readable form

======Examples:======
<file>
$stime($time())             current time string
$stime(0)                   the dawn of time
</file>

======History:======
This function first appeared in ircII.
