The format still has the end time - but there has been no reason for
FILLM to regard that as gospel. Do you have any idea why we have kept
that absurdity for so long? I am about to put back a new FILLM
that corrects the time by half the integration time. All data of any
obs date will be correct henceforth. The issue is documenting this
change. I don't know about reason 2 even with ModComps...
