Just for the logs: I gave up my work on an inplace DateTime migration.. too compliated, too much cruft would have to remain for backward compatibility. Let's see how we can address the issue in a reasonable way :-)
To enable an evolutionary approach DateTime <-> datetime conversions must be made round-tripable. This is currently difficult as DateTimes have a resolution of milliseconds and datetimes a resolution of microseconds. I propose:
* Increase the resolution of DateTimes to microseconds
* Modify the DateTime constructor to handle datetime objects
* add an asdatetime method which will return a datetime object (avoiding any issues with floating point conversions).
The migration project is dead (for me)..too complex in order to do it right. -aj
