    We actually do know. INTERVALYEAR is stored as a signed 4 byte int, so the 
maximum number of months is known. From that, we can estimate the string form:
    
    PxY12M
    
    where x = Integer.MAX_VALUE / 12.
    
    Realistically, assuming a range of +/- 10K years is good enough, so:
    
    P9999Y12M
    
    Is the maximum value.
