      The $date format requires a string or a $numberLong, but the driver incorrectly parses integer literals like the following:

      {"":{"$date":1}}
0f0000000900010000000000000000

{"":{"$date":-1}}
0f0000000900ffffffffffffffff00

      N.B. floats do error:

      {"":{"$date":1.23}}
unmarshal error: $date value should be string or object, but instead is double
