Happy New Year everyone,

While working with the new standard library I notice two things.  First, 
there lacks a body to change just ownership.  There is one for mode, mode 
and user, mode user and group, and finally just user.  So adding this 
would be helpful:
body perms og(u,g) {
    owners => { "${u}" };
    groups => { "${g}" };
}

The second thing I noticed was the remote copy body.
body copy_from remote_cp(from,server)
{
servers     => { "$(server)" };
source      => "$(from)";
compare     => "mtime";
}

Although comparing using mtime is efficient I don't think that it 
outweighs its uncertainty.  File times can change for many reasons good, 
accidental and nefarious.  I think that comparing hashes would be more 
prudent.

Sincerely,
