*puts on contributor hat*

Well all right then! Filed https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109849,
recapping this and asking some questions about the specifics. I'll try to
put together a PR.

Polls are utterly useless.

I think a lot has been said by this time and I have nothing to add.

If this is something that is of value, I am sure it will be picked up when the 
time is right.

One last thing that I think could be of some use is a poll:

https://take.supersurvey.com/QCVZKTDY0 

It will not take more than few seconds. Appreciate your time.

Regards,
DG

This is such an obvious improvement that the only answer I can think
of is "Because you haven't submitted a merge request yet?" ;-)

TBH honest you're right about the edge case, mostly datetime is about
talking to humans and that's almost by definition not worth the time
of a core dev to shave nanoseconds off the operation.  But if someone
is looking for a chance to put in a patch, this looks likely to be
approved to me.
