  so you would prefer that somebody else did the dirty work, instead? :)

  if you want a SETF method on FILE-WRITE-DATE, you can write your own, but
  you can't also claim to have strictly conforming and portable code.  this
  may not be such a terrible loss, compared to a SET-FILE-WRITE-DATE or a
  function that takes gratuitously different arguments.
