Title: PersistentDateTimeAsBigInt

Our project has the need to have millisecond accuracy for DateTime instances, so we chose to store them in MySQL as BIGINT. We have created a mapping class that will allow us to map between the DateTime value and the milliseconds since epoch.

I thought about calling it PersistentDateTimeExact but decided it was probably better to follow the "AsBigInt" precedence. Please rename if you feel otherwise.
