README.current_time.txt
README.iif
README.length

I moved this ticket from the documentation repository to the firebird repository, as this concerns what is included with a release.

The READMEs are primarily intended to bridge the gap when a language reference is not yet available.

For documentation of all functions, use the language reference, e.g. Firebird 3.0 Language Reference or Firebird 2.5 Language Reference.
