But the overall solution doesn't look that nice. The handling of fill_value has still to be done in CFMaskCoder. 

Also #7098 is needed for this.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1696097756

In CFDatetimeCoder the floating point is cast back to int64 to transform into datetime64.

Can we reverse the order so that `CFDatetimeCoder` handles `_FillValue` for datetime arrays, and then it will be skipped in `CFMaskCoder`","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1696097756

Nevertheless the transformation from int to float in CFMaskCoder should be avoided.

We might think about special casing time data in CFMaskCoder, or handle masking of time data in CFDatetimeCoder/CFTimedeltaCoder.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1696097756
