If that means that you are considering implementing it, be sure to work from ISO 8601, real or Wikipedia, and do not think of using DatePart.

No; I type 33333 into my first column, and see 1999-04-05 appear; I type 9 into my third column, and see £9.00 appear.  I believe that they are stored as IEEE Doubles; but the cells know what the number should mean.  Perhaps, to help low-level work, it should be possible to format the displayed numbers as Hex or Octal, and to interpret input correspondingly.
