Hmmm, following the matplotlib docstrings: """ datetime objects are converted to floating point numbers which represent the number of days since 0001-01-01 UTC """ So it is using something similar to the ``timefloat64`` in our proposal, but with a different scale (it is counting days instead of microseconds) and a different epoch (0001-01-01 UTC instead of 1970-01-01 UTC). So, it seems that setters/getters for matplotlib datetime could be supported, maybe at the risk of loosing precision. We should study this more carefully, but I suppose that if there is interest enough that could be implemented, yes.
