Julian dates, if being used to represent a time on a given date would be
a floating point number. A Julian date, if only needing to express a
time to the precision of a whole Day, could be represented as an integer
(with some rule to define which of the likely integers you would chose,
due to the natural fuzziness of plain dates).

Thus Apr 5, 2019 could be expressed as an integer (and in fact to
express it as a float requires adding a lot of detail about the date,
verse maybe 1 bit of information)
