This would be extraordinarily helpful, but I have not thought of a
graceful way to do it. Everything in R now has a class attribute, but a
timestamp for such simple things as vectors seems like overkill. On the
other hand, those of us writing packages could implement this pretty
easily for complex objects we produce.
