- The V8 newer does in fact return success (exit status 0) when the files
- are exactly the same age. The name is not entirely right; it should be
- something like "up_to_date_with", in an ideal world. The behavior would
- not appear to be a bug, since it is consistent with the wording of the
- manual page.
