But note that DateType has a 7 bit field for the year, counting from 1904,
for a maximum of 1904+127 = 2031. API's which use this type have a tighter
limit than those that use DateTimeType or a UInt32 holding the number of
seconds since 1904.
If your app needs dates in the distance past or future, you're better off
using your own routines to manipulate dates and times.
