Review comment:
The current implementation isn't symmetrical. So we can convert a
UserDefinedType to a DateType, but not the other way around. I'm hesitant to
add this functionality because I don't see any obvious applications. Please let
me know if you think this should be added as well. I've added a test to check
the opposite case as well, including some additional comments to clarify the
idea and working.
