This is also why I propose an argument to choose the format: everyone
has a different use case and use cases are incompatible. Tuples are
quick to create but has not a practical API, datetime has a nice API
but also issues listed before by Martin (and don't support nanosecond
resolution currently), Decimal has a nice API but is expensive to
create, etc.
