Every now and then I need a way to get for example "today" but without the time.

Sometimes I also need the beginning of some particular date.

It would be super cool to have a .clearTime() method on DateTime. It would return a new DateTime with times set to 00:00:00.

How about:

DateTime get startOfDay;
DateTime get endOfDay;

DateTimes are not well suited for Date manipulations. Some countries change daylight-saving at midnight. DateTimes can get confused by this.
Also adding 1 day (i.e. 24 hours) won't always correctly provide the next calendar date (again due to daylight-saving).
Not yet saying we won't add this method, but for now marking as "later".

Added this to the Later milestone.
