As far as I can see its not really a breakage of the API. It is under the hood and the interface is still the same.... There are no events prior 1970 stored on the computer. Thus it makes most sense to have something consistent and valid. How do you want to calculate the timestamp for 1901 -.-
(This is just jibberish but I hope by scoping the range down we get a slight performance boost, even if unnoticed)

Bug description:
There's an inconsistency in TimeRange.always() produced by ZG and libzg. ZG uses (-maxint, maxint), while libzg uses (0, maxint). This introduces incompabilities when using ZG's TimeRange.is_always(), where it'll return True for ZG's TimeRanges and False for libzg's TimeRanges.

Our mightly leader Seif decided that ZG should also use (0, maxint), so this is a reminder to change it for the next release.
