   That sounds like a good idea.
   
   However, there's a potential issue in that those methods would become 
unusable on most versions of Android, since the `java.nio.file` package is only 
supported on Android Oreo and higher (admittedly, I'm not sure if any Android 
apps will need to make use of those methods or already use the existing `Date` 
method, and it's possible that the package [will be made 
available](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/154309654) to all versions of 
Android via 
[desugaring](https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support-table)).
   
   Other than that, sounds good to me :)
