I didn't see the point of Ed's arbitrary change in YMD format, but
what's wrong with adding fractional seconds?  Our own timestamp code
is willing to format fractional seconds, so we can hardly call it
nonstandard.

What Ed implemented (which is what was in 7.0 and before) is millisecond
resolution, which does seem worthwhile; certainly one-second resolution
is pretty coarse on some machines these days.

I was thinking of keeping the YMD display format the same but otherwise
adopting the patch.
