Return `true` if a date and/or time value must be encoded using either its corresponding extended‐binary‐encoding format or its corresponding compact‐binary‐encoding format according to the specified `options`, and return `false` otherwise. Note that, for any given `value` and `options`, the `value` must be encoded using its corresponding compact‐binary‐encoding format if `useExtendedBinaryEncoding(value, options)` returns `false` and `useBinaryEncoding(options)` returns `true`.
