Right now the temporal compute functions include year / month / day as separate 
functions. AFAICT in the implementation these all internally create a struct 
containing year/month/day using the date library and then return only one of 
the components.

 

>From a pure efficiency perspective it might be best to just return all as one 
>StructArray and allow the user to unpack the values. From a user perspective, 
>I also typically want year / month / day to be bundled together, so one 
>function call to get all three in one pass would be ideal

 

This might be extendable down to the timestamp structure as well
