Proposed solution

Add support for BCE dates with a minus sign in front of the year (e.g. -0100-01-01) following the ISO 8601 standard.

Iā€™m sure this is pretty niche, but I think it would be really easy to implement and beneficial for people working with historical topics (for which, by the way, Obsidian + Bases will probably be a game-changer soon imo).

It seems like it would also be useful to have a circa ( ~ ) date format as well as date range features.
