In the Tramp case, "as reported by your operating system" is not
correct, because the report comes from another but "your" operating
system. Perhaps we could say

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
This function returns t if file FILE1 is newer than file FILE2, as
reported by the file system.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.
