+///
+/// Setting a pre-epoch date like `0000-01-01` used to panic on 32-bit targets
+/// because the i64 Unix timestamp (~-62 billion) overflowed the i32 `tv_sec`
+/// expected by the old nix-based implementation. After switching to rustix
+/// (which uses i64 `tv_sec` natively), this should succeed on all targets.
