How do you envision this working for days, weeks, months, years? E.g. 
getting the min/max Date objects for today, for next week, for this 
current month, etc.

I'm very open to ideas here; I just implemented what made sense to me at 
the time.

It internally uses datetime.strftime, so will behave however that 
behaves with regard to locales.

Not built-in other than supporting a strftime method. This is a good 
idea and I will probably add it.

Thanks :-)
