Description

I understand that timestamps are not-reliable, but going through the append-log by hand (if the user-interface is provided), doesn't give you a hint when a change happened. A simple option to store the timestamp could help when a human needs to interact with the data. Would you be okay with a PR that adds a timestamp option (default to false)?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the append-tree operation and append-log APIs to determine where an optional timestamp would belong. The issue does not name files or tests, so first clarify the timestamp representation and storage format. Done should mean timestamps are opt-in, default to false, and remain absent from existing operations unless enabled.
