10078	Incomplete API with respect to file related dates (cration, modification, access)	David Lastovicka <david@…>	Beman Dawes	"The following features are missing:
- read file's creation date
- read file's last access date
- read file's creation date with a precision higher than seconds
- read file's last access date with a precision higher than seconds
- read file's last access date with a precision higher than seconds
- allow to detect capabilities of the underlying filesystem (e.g. support for creation and last access date that are not supported by all systems, or finding out date precision supported by the current filesystem)

Possible implementation notes:

Example of current use of this feature in existing applications:

ls --full-time
