Negative years

I know this is likely a ridiculously niche request, but I would love if you could put negative years into the track metadata, or allow the year / date metadata to support strings. I'm not sure if this is a limitation with ID3 tags or with guayadeque, but if its not due to ID3 the support for one of these would be super awesome!

In fact you can store a negative number but as the value is treated as unsigned you will see it in unsigned form when you re read it. Not very usseful thought.
