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.
