    /// ## Minor limitation
    ///
    /// ### TL,DR
    /// the combination of `Logger::append()`
    /// with `Criterion::Age` works OK, but not perfectly correct on Windows or Linux
    /// when the program is restarted.
    ///
    /// ### Details
    /// Applying the age criterion works fine while your program is running.
    /// Ideally, we should also apply it to the rCURRENT file when the program is restarted
    /// and you chose the `Logger::append()` option.
    ///
    /// Unfortunately, this does not work on Windows, and it does not work on linux,
    /// for different reasons.
    ///
    /// To minimize the impact on age-based file-rotation,
    /// `flexi_logger` uses on Windows and linux its initialization time
    /// rather than the real file property
    /// as the created_at-info of an rCURRENT file that already exists, and the
    /// current timestamp when file rotation happens during further execution.
    /// Consequently, a left-over rCURRENT file from a previous program run will look newer
    /// than it is, and will be used longer than it should be.
    ///
    /// #### Issue on Windows
    ///
    /// For compatibility with DOS (sic!), Windows magically transfers the created_at-info
    /// of a file that is deleted (or renamed) to its successor,
    /// when the recreation happens within some seconds [[1]](#ref-1).
    ///
