Nope, it wasn't, we opted to do something much more ambitious, and that
didn't fit the 3.4 timeframe. (So much to do, so little time :/)

There's still the feature/3.3/mongodb/datetime branch in my git repo[1],
and the new thing that will come in 3.5 is on the
feature/3.5/templates/cast-typehints branch. That 3.5 branch is pretty
much current 3.4, so should be fairly safe to use.

The former has the datetime("some.field.name") syntax, the latter has:

 value-pairs(pair("DATE", datetime("$UNIXTIME")))

(Similarly, you can mark stuff as int() or boolean() too)
