Comment (by bemandawes):

 The "precision higher than seconds" issues are fixed in the File System
 TS. The time type is now chrono::time_point. This change will be reflected
 in the Boost implementation sometime this summer as part of a general
 upgrade to meet the TS specs.

 See http://cplusplus.github.io/filesystem-ts/working-draft.html


 The creation and last access requests have been on the "do-list" for
 years, but keep getting pushed aside by more pressing needs. The design
 issue that needs a solution is what to do on systems that don't support
 the functionality. A simple solution is needed; anything elaborate will
 not fly.

 If you would like to submit the specifications, or better yet a complete
 pull request, that would move this issue forward. You can email me: bdawes
 at acm dot org.

 Thanks,
