It's common to get a list of files (including modtime) and then offer to
sort the files in various ways.
My overall point here was simply: If we're going to institute some
interface changes in how we deal with time (in general, and I think we
probably should because of resolution and efficiency issues), it's an
opportunity to look at the wider ecosystem of functionality in this
area, and see whether we can improve other things at the same time.
`file-attributes' seems like an obvious low-hanging fruit.
