+categories (B<rrdfetch>, L<rrdgraph>) and B<epoch> indicates the
+*IX epoch (*IX timestamp 0 = 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). B<epoch> is
+useful to disambiguate between a timestamp value and some forms
+of abbreviated date/time specifications, because it allows to use
+time offset specifications using units, eg. B<epoch>+19711205s unambiguously
+denotes timestamp 19711205 and not 1971-12-05 00:00:00 UTC.
