Filetime(cma) enhance.

Currently Filetime command can get only one date at a time, while Timestamp can copy any combination/all 3 dates at once, but needs source to get them from. I'd appreciate if Filetime could same select a combination/get all dates with separator.(as usual default "|" but configurable in new last parameter)
Yet that would require Timestamp to comprehend with such separated date combination provided.
Why? When you simply need to change dates of items, Filestamp surely works. But when you need to "transfer dates" say to other system, where there are no "original date items", one has to use Filetime to gather dates for stamping, and it takes 3 Filetime operations per each item instead of 1 Timestamp. In big numbers it's overwhelming: gathering dates of 20K items > 60K reads instead of 20K. Number grows enormously when you need to do transfer every now and then.
