Description
UnitsDataArray _pp_serialize does not account for customs dimensions in bounds which may be datetimes.
Create an Array node with a custom dimension using datetimes. Attempt to evaluate the node and convert to an output format with to_format. The serialization will fail due to the datetimes in the bounds for the custom dimensions.
Steps to Reproduce
See additional notes below with a reproducible unit test.
Expected Behavior
Similar to time dimension, any custom dimensions using datetimes should be converted to strings before serialization.
Observed Behavior
An error is thrown, when the datetime is attempted to be serialized.
Additional Notes
NOTE: Nearest neighbor interpolation checks this, so any interpolated node will not fail.
