 published

 This logic absolutely does not belong in date retrieval. The purpose of
 this branch of functions is to take a database value and turn it into
 workable representation.

 Treating presence or absence or magical values of dates is sprinkled all
 through the core and would take another year to fix.

 The new API didn't ''break'' anything here, it just highlights things that
 ''had always been broken'' by bringing clear implementations and
 meaningful error handling into the old messed up code.

 We need new API to (gradually) fix the mess, not the other way around.
