The year field in DateType is an unsigned 7 bit numbers counting from 1904,
so the last year we can represent in 2031. DateTimeType uses a full 16 bits
for the year, so it's not a problem. According to my crude calculations,
TimGetSeconds and other functions that use an unsigned 32 bit number to
count seconds from the start of 1904 will all run out around 2040.
Clearly, we'll have to do something about these limitations sometime well
before 2031. We've got about 20 years if we want to allow people to schedule
stuff 10 years ahead. In the meantime, if you need to deal with dates in the
distance past or future, you'll have to write your own functions rather than
using the ones provided by the OS.
