[issue22058] datetime.datetime() should accept a datetime.date as init parameter

There is currently no obvious way to convert either date or datetime instance to date.

The best solution I can think of is date(*x.timetuple()[:3]):

>>> d = date.today()
>>> t = datetime.now()
>>> date(*d.timetuple()[:3])
datetime.date(2014, 7, 24)
>>> date(*t.timetuple()[:3])
datetime.date(2014, 7, 24)

Certainly date(x) wins hands down over this atrocity.
