Currently datetime can only be used for dates which has unix timestamp 0 or above. I noticed this when tried to use datetime field as birthday-field.

I guess this would be pretty easy fix to allow pre-1970 dates also? Using signed integer field on database and allow negative values to be saved.

Updated to support negative values in the timestamp, and committed. It had to do with validation rather than the DB field type. We're using a MySQL datetime field for storage, so that isn't bound to the limits of timestamps. We're using timestamps just on the PHP side for sortability, sanitization and abstraction from a defined date format.

Great stuff, thanks Ryan!
