From my limited experience on this patch, I agree with you. For
instance, in one version of the patch I thought it would be a good idea
to put the modified timestamp in a column. As my timestamps came from
(current-time) it was not human readable so I had to format-time-string
those. But then I have to be able to sort on this formatted string. So I
choose to format those timestamps with "%F %T" to be able to sort
lexicographically (or maybe I could have parse them back)… and at this
point, it feels like your fighting the system.
