    Specification Base Specifications Issue 7
    Problem Summary VSX expecting to *not* get the plus
    sign if there's no room within the specified minimum width in strftime().
    Problem Text VSX looks intentionally expecting to *not* get the plus
    sign if there's no room within the specified minimum width.

    According to the spec, when plus sign is specified as optional flag
    and year is 10000, leading plus sign shall be included in the output.
    The field width specified is minimum field width which doesn't prevent
    addition of the leading plus sign.

    Also, RATIONALE part of the spec document shows an example that
    strftime() outputs "+12345" for year 12345, with "%+4Y" or with "%+5Y".

    Discussed further for clarification, and now it's seen possible VSX bug.
    As mentioned earlier in this bug report, width specified is "minimum"
    width and there's no reason found to explain the width prevents
    addition of the plus sign. Also the RATIONAL part of the spec
    shows example that strftime() outputs "+12345" for year 12345,
    with "%+4Y" or with "%+5Y".
    Test Output strftime(str, size, %+3C, &tmbuf) returned incorrectly formatted string
    Expected string: 100
    Actual string: +100
    strftime(str, size, %+11F, &tmbuf) returned incorrectly formatted string
    Expected string: 10000-10-23
    Actual string: +10000-10-23
    strftime(str, size, %+5G, &tmbuf) returned incorrectly formatted string
    Expected string: 10000
    Actual string: +10000
    strftime(str, size, %+5Y, &tmbuf) returned incorrectly formatted string
    Expected string: 10000
    Actual string: +10000
