How would this differ from rtime? For what purpose?

I'm not sure about merging rtime and mtime. They have different purposes
for sure. mtime might be compatible with how rtime is computed or not, I
don't know.

What I know for sure is that rtime already has to do with a lot of
edge-cases (utime_from_header, quick syncs, etc). I'm afraid a merge
would make things more complex.
