Is there a plan to fix deserializing dates outside of datetime.MIN/MAX_YEAR? This bug is known for several years, but is always using workarounds still considered the best solutions?
I submitted DRAFT PR which introduce a new type similar to util.Date and util.Time that falls back to integer display when Python can't do the date math. I am aware that this is a breaking change, so it should be carefully discussed if it is even worth the effort. I would like to start this discussion.

This blows up for large timestamps.
We may need to introduce a new type similar to util.Date and util.Time that falls back to integer display when Python can't do the date math.
