No matter how non-trivial, when subtracting a date ahead of the boundry
from a date behind the boundry AS does it without any fuss. It just can't
be done with a simple subtraction with dates below 1/1/1000.
The workaround is to reinvent the wheel and calculate the number of days,
which the MacOS already knows but does not expose.
