Actually, I have another useful option in mind that could be added
with very little effort. So let me say that I do intend to install
this as a new /usr/bin/sfilter command, assuming that does not
generate too many objections. I expect this will work out better
than adding new options to `date' or to `cat'.
For those wondering what other esoteric option I would add, it's
a pretty simple addition. An option to prefix the lines with a
relative timestamp (#seconds since the first line), instead of
a strftime() stamp.
