^^^^^^^^^

That's a great way to explain it in 5 words, but note that there's
also ‘lazytime’ which does the same thing, only slightly less so
:-)

(How about adding that, too?)

MHO: since we're adding a hyphen and not blindly following
upstream already, I think the symbol itself should be
‘relative-atime’. Abbrevs r meh.

Kind regards,
