One of the first things I'm doing once 7.1 is out is add some sanity checking
so that the get/set methods on Date, Timestamp, integer, double etc so that
getDate() on a Timestamp would work, but also getTimestamp() on a Date column.

However, this isn't going to be that easy, and (when I thought of this) 7.1 was
already in beta - and this being new functionality couldn't be put in ;-)
