The mainframe I first worked on had created, modified, copied, opened
for reading, opened for writing, executed, and backed-up dates on files.
Very useful. (Along with a host of other useful properties and ACLs.)

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

I think part of the problem is the lack of APIs in Linux/UNIX that let
you actually copy a file. Hence, preserving the date after copying a
file is more work. Hence, it would seem at least a little sensible to
say "I just do what Linux does by default." Not "you don't need that", mind.

You go by two names already here. How about adding "dot-net" as a third
alias? ;-)

Actually, I do. And she's totally cute, but, sadly, not *that* much
younger. And she could *so* use an upgrade (her taste in men is utterly
execrable)...

1. What does "execrable" mean?
2. How old are you?
3. Where do you live?
