Inconsistency with `timeCreated`, `timeLastModified`, `timeLastAccessed` and `timeStatusChanged`

[0xEAB]

std.file currently provides these similar functions:

• timeCreated
• timeLastModified
• timeLastAccessed
• timeStatusChanged

Some are only available on certain target platforms; that’s fair. Some of them are only available as a method of the DirEntry wrapper (no free-standing function).

But timeLastModified() is really the odd one out as it has two additional overloads that accept “some finite char input range” instead of working on a DirEntry or platform-specific file handle.

Feels a bit inconsistent.

@0xEAB Do you have any suggestions for this ?

If I had a definitive answer to that, I'd have phrased the issue report differently 🙈 There's a bunch of ways that all seem like a fair solution. But I suppose it would be best to tackle this only after a bit of swarm intelligence brainstorming.
