Isn't that potentially a bit confusing?
EINVAL sounds to me like I would expect a programming error,
inputting something I should have known to be invalid.
That's not quite the case for out-of-range timestamps.
I guess it is better than -1 though, and I can't suggest
anything better, I am just not really happy with it.
