Description:
To be consistent with the .NET framework DateTime class, as well as the SqlClient's
DateTime type, it would be nice if the MySQL type would be cased the same (capital 'D' and
'T').

The entire library should follow Microsoft .NET design guidelines.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
It might be too late to make this change, but .NET allows multiple enums to have the same
underlying value, so this *could* be introduced without breaking existing code. However,
it might confuse users as to which they should use (even though they are both the same).
