| 880 | + Use 64-bit integer storage for datetimes and intervals, rather |
| 881 | + than the default floating-point storage. This reduces the range |
| 882 | + of representable values but guarantees microsecond precision across |
| 883 | + the full range (see <xref linkend="datatype-datetime"> for more |
| 884 | + information). Note also that the integer datetimes code is newer |
| 885 | + than the floating-point code, and we still find bugs in it from time |
| 886 | + to time. |
