I agree, and I'm going to suggest that change.  (Editing of the page is
currently disabled for new users due to vandalism and I've had some

But <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/strtoimax> does
indicate that both functions are declared in <inttypes.h> and has
references to the C99 and later standards.
