Why not go all the way and start using utimensat() and do nanoseconds?
That's the resolution presented in struct stat, and what most file
systems store - without that, it's not possible to accurately replicate
one file's timestamps on another. Also, POSIX nowadays specifies touch
in terms of utimensat()
