Review comment:
In the absence of being able to overload return types, this class (and
`Date64Array`) follows the naming convention of
[System.Convert](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.convert?view=netcore-3.1),
and mentions the return type in the method name.
As such, the original `GetDate()` method is marked as _obsolete_.
