class_docstr: Base class for all date/datetime scales
  
  Parameters
  ----------
  date_breaks : str, default=None
      A string giving the distance between major breaks.
      For example `'2 weeks'`, `'5 years'`. If specified,
      `date_breaks` takes precedence over
      `breaks`.
  date_labels : str, default=None
      Format string for the labels.
      See :ref:`strftime <strftime-strptime-behavior>`.
      If specified, `date_labels` takes precedence over
      `labels`.
  date_minor_breaks : str, default=None
      A string giving the distance between minor breaks.
      For example `'2 weeks'`, `'5 years'`. If specified,
      `date_minor_breaks` takes precedence over
      `minor_breaks`.
