Ben, IIUC your proposal is very similar to what I wrote above, except
that I would have added the "virtual" aspect to TIME field itself. But
in the end, it seems we can have our cake and eat it too: we can
implement this with a channel filter and have the resulting flexibility,
while at the same time treating the ".TIME" part of the PV name as
special syntax that creates a channel filter (which is already the case
for "[n]" for arrays or "$" for long strings).

  Users often request the ability to access the TIME field directly.
  It could be provided as an array of 2 32-bit values, possibly with a specific string in ISO-8601 form say.
