As a user, I want an "unbounded" time dimension in pairs and statistics formats that most software applications can parse into a time #275

Given an evaluation that writes pairs or statistics When the pools are described for an unbounded time dimension Then most software applications used by real users should be able to read them

Examples of languages: python applications, R applications, bash applications etc.

( Some applications can handle things like @+1000000000-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z@, such as java and bash applications, others cannot so easily, such as python, apparently. )

Useful, thanks. Those python bounds are surprising. Is that core python or whatever you call it?

I mean, no paleontological time-series in Python, I guess, at least not as times :)

Yeah, that's vanilla. The Numpy ranges are probably greater due to them being implemented in C or Fortran, not python.

It looks like numpy can handle [9200000000000000000 BC, 9200000000000000000 AD].

Ha, that should be wide enough :) ( Still, we should change it. )
