Adding a __float__ method to datetime was entertained back in 2003, but
was rejected. The same reasons apply to timedelta:
"""
- A C double doesn't have enough precision for roundtrip guarantees.
- Does it really need to be automatic? I.e., does it really need to
be __float__()? I'd be less against this if it was an explicit
method, e.g. dt.asposixtime().
