That does explain it.  So, datesDo: is fine.

Timespan>>to: is the method at issue.  The right-open intenterval is what
tripped me up. Other implementations of #to: are right closed: (1 to: 2)
includes 2, for instance, whereas (Date yesterday to: Date today) does not
include today.

Time to: makes sense to me: '01:00:00' asTime to: '02:00:00' asTime being 1
hour makes sense to me, since it is a particular point in time to another
particular point in time.
The Day to Day - I guess just assuming the 2nd day means the beginning of
the day instead of the end of the day is what gets me.

I'd excpect Date today to: Date today to be today - not an empty timespan.

Maybe I just need to get over it.
But what I'd expect is the the end part of the timespan #to: to use the end
of the ending timespan,if possible.

Thanks,
cbc
