Just check for OLD.mtime = NEW.mtime, or am I missing something here?

How do I differentiate between:

UPDATE t SET mtime=mtime ...;

in which mtime is specifically set and should not change, and

UPDATE t SET foo=bar ...;

in which mtime is not mentioned and should be updated automagically to NOW().
