Why??? I've just come home having examined my students (in math;-)). In
their documents, I signed this way:
<examination mark> 24.01.00 <my signature>.
Perfectly legal, perfectly valid, perfectly standard. It's clearly *neither* 1900
*nor* 2100;-)

be configurable, it will become so" in 3.12c (in a week or two).
