- The dates can optionally be given more precision with time (their default time is noon, i.e. 12:00:00 UTC), for computing timezones.

- If date2 comes strictly after date1 then the return value will contain the values of named parameters not before, after, not same.
- Test options:
-
- before=text if date2 comes before date1 and dates are not the same|
- not after=text if date2 comes before date1 or dates are the same|
- same=text if date1 and date2 are the same|
- not before=text if date2 comes after date1 or dates are the same|
- after=text if date2 comes after date1 and dates are not the same|
