It would be very useful to be able to view log files containing timestamps, and reformat them in various ways. E.g.

Time since last line (delta time)
Time since a time reference

This is similar to what wireshark can do: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChWorkTimeFormatsSection.html

This may require several features to support:

Regex match, without filtering (similar to New filter: highlight only #70)
Parse regex match as a timestamp, given a strftime format string
Reformat the timestamp:
- given a strtime format string
- as seconds from a fixed reference point
  - Options for reference point: epoch, start of file, start of page, user-specified timestamp
- as seconds from last line

Would this be a good feature to have? If so, where could we start?
