I'd like to suggest adding new primitives

Does anyone else think this is a good idea?  Is there anyone who would
object to adding these primitives?

Yes, that looks good (I use "touch -d ... /tmp/mark" quite often for this,
avoiding the temporary file would be great).

Exactly!

I'll get started on the changes tomorrow.
