How to utilize mod time and size instead checksums during sync and check?

Help and Support

based on the docs, it seems that there is no way to check with both size and mod time.
and just now, i did some tests.

i changed the mod time for keepass.exe
and then i ran rclone check

KeePass.exe: MD5 = 8d555802a67b5eab0ce0efaed2724cbf OK
KeePass.exe: OK

and then ran
rclone check --size-only

KeePass.exe: OK
KeePass.exe.config: OK

so in both cases, rclone did NOT check the mod-time

for what it is worth, i do not use rclone for non-cloud syncing and copying.
if you want to using some flag or feature unique to rclone then use it.
on windows, there are much better and more powerful tools such as robocopy and fastcopy.
