Perhaps I didn't understand your proposal. What the h... was I thinking? I confused nano with micro and forgot the hours, how embarrassing. :( days ---- 32bit signed integer numbers of days since Jan 1, 1 AD in proleptic Gregorian calendar (aka modern civil calendar). That's Rata Die minus one day since it defines Jan 1, 1 AD as day 1. This allows days between year 5.8 Mio in the past and 5.8 Mio in the future ((1<<31) // 365.242 ~ 5879618). nanoseconds ----------- 64bit signed or unsigned integer more than enough for nanosecond granularity (47bits), we could easily push it to pico seconds resolution (57bits) in the future.
