Is there a reason why Time.local can't handle dates beyond 2038?  I know 
that's when the number of second since 1970 exceeds 2^32, but can't a 
big, strong language like Ruby handle it?

irb(main):004:0> Time.local(2038)
=> Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 Pacific Standard Time 2038


irb(main):005:0> Time.local(2039)
ArgumentError: time out of range
        from (irb):5:in `local'
        from (irb):5
