It is visible for userspace, but I guess not for ls(1). You can test it
by doing:

	echo foo > foo
	echo bar > bar
	diff -u foo bar

And it prints the header at the top with the raw timestamps.

It's not really useful for a regular user to see the nanoseconds, but
for tools like make(1) and others that depend on timestamps to do
decision making, it would be nice to have.
