- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,

as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get.  Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however.  When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
