Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] approxidate: tweak special date formats
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 17:54:27 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512145430.13212-1-taahol@utu.fi> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250318180201.3653-1-taahol@utu.fi>

The approxidate system is an endless source of absurdities.  Let's make the
usual "eh, that's crazy, let's do better with this input" type of fix[1], and
tweak some sharp edge cases, including one noticed by Linus back in 2006[2].

After this series, "tea" and "noon" will work predictably with all kinds of
date formats (today, yesterday, last Friday, January 5th, one year ago
yesterday...) regardless of the current time of day.
