Research direction

Start with the failing tests in tests/test_items.py, then inspect the DateTime and Date implementations in tomlkit/items.py around the reported lines. Reproduce the failures on Python 3.8 and verify that the date and datetime behavior tests pass while preserving the shown comparisons and string output.
