An additional use case for this code is to detect whether the underlying
file system supports file modification times. I'm not entirely certain
of this, but I think that at least some variants of FAT, perhaps all, do
not support them. One of the programs I maintain (not part of Emacs
yet) relies on file modification times in order to accurately determine
which files need to have their contents updated after a corresponding
change to a "source" file.
