 Return the NetCDF variable `varname` in the dataset `ds` as a
 `NCDataset.CFVariable`. The following CF convention are honored when the
 variable is indexed:
 * `_FillValue` or `missing_value` (which can be a list) will be returned as `missing`. `NCDatasets` does not use implicitely the default NetCDF fill values when reading data.
 * `scale_factor` and `add_offset` are applied (output = `scale_factor` * `data_in_file` +  `add_offset`)
 * time variables (recognized by the units attribute and possibly the calendar attribute) are returned usually as
-  `DateTime` object. Note that `DateTimeAllLeap`, `DateTimeNoLeap` and
-  `DateTime360Day` cannot be converted to the proleptic gregorian calendar used in
-  julia and are returned as such. If a calendar is defined but not among the
-ones specified in the CF convention, then the data in the NetCDF file is not
-converted into a date structure.
