Each for each metadata field, there's now an automatically maintained "$field-lastchanged" that gives the timestamp of the last change to that field.

Note that this is a nearly entirely free feature. The data was already

parsed to a time when parsing the log. The generation of the metadata
fields may even be done lazily, although probably not entirely (the map
has to be evaulated to when queried).
