+I'm marking this as moreinfo since the patch as is doesn't seem to\r
+satisfy people. Personally I think the key point is that\r
+e.g. date:2012-12-10 should do something reasonable (presumably return\r
+all messages on that day, pax questions about timezone); whether we need\r
+new prefixes I'm less convinced.  However, as far as I understand it,\r
+any solution to the "single date" problem would make the "syntactic\r
+sugar prefixes" rather easy.\r
+\r
+As a meta-point, I don't think we should spend too much time and effort\r
+debating TODO; it isn't like this is some contract about deliverables,\r
+or even a document that most of us look at much.\r
