+         Use 64-bit integer storage for datetimes and intervals, rather
+         than the default floating-point storage.  This reduces the range
+         of representable values but guarantees microsecond precision across
+         the full range (see <xref linkend="datatype-datetime"> for more
+         information).  Note also that the integer datetimes code is newer
+         than the floating-point code, and we still find bugs in it from time
+         to time.
