Comment:
This type assumes a Gregorian calendar. Either this should be explicit called
out here, or this type should be rethought to be more inclusive of other
calendars.The text "midnight UTC on the morning of the parsed date" should be
"the midnight UTC that is contained within parsed date" because days start at
different times in other calendars..
