The constraint on last_write_time is too weak: It is noted that the postcondition of last_write_time(p) == new_time is not specified since it might not hold for file systems with coarse time granularity.
However, might it be possible to have a postcondition that last_write_time(p) <= new_time ?Add postcondition: last_write_time(p) <= new_time
