Dominik Derwiński commented on IO-695:
--------------------------------------
I'm not sure not setting the date at all is the same as ignoring failure to set
it. It's a bonus operation, that is welcome if it succeeds, but nothing
dramatic happens if it doesn't. Perhaps there need to be multiple versions of
the method.
