I usually go to http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/
Even though we do not say "We'll use anything that is in POSIX.1; it
is your problem if your platform does not support it", we tend to
say "It's not even in POSIX, so let's see if we can avoid it".

I am saying that using "log -1" and "show" in different tests _only_
for the value of "Date:" field does not buy us much. And by unifying,
I was hoping that the single helper can be placed in a common file
that is dot-sourced by these three scripts more easily.
Thanks.
