The main problem I have with this solution is that it seems rather
unintuitive to see a file that was modified late yesterday as only
having a time, especially if the file was modified close to 24 hours
ago. E.g., if it's now 10:30am, and I see a file listed as `10:45:32',
then it _feels_ like the file was modified today, even though it wasn't
(and if I think about it for a second, I'll see that -- but I really
shouldn't have to `think about it' for such a common case).
