Not easy.

"bobobase_modification_time()" is in fact a "DateTime" representation
of "_p_serial". And "_p_serial" is the transaction id (also a timestamp)
that has committed the object state belonging to this object incarnation.

Unfortunately, you must not commit a transaction in a test suite
(as this may cause interference with other tests).

There is a small chance that a savepoint changed "_p_serial" --
but the chance is only small...

You might be able to write "_p_serial" yourself and thereby
trick "bobobase_modification_time()".
