If the user enters “Today” I expect that :
dateFromString: would return either the current date/time as the
best result
for the natural language translation of “today” or 11:59:59 PM as
the whole
time range of today.
Since NSDates and NSCalendarDates are instants in time, and not time
ranges, I'd say that choosing noon for "today" is a reasonable
default. If you make it any other time, I can see equally strong
arguments for making it 00:00:00GMT, or 12:59:59GMT+12, or the same
values in the current time zone. Whatever they picked, it couldn't
be what everybody wanted.
It sounds to me like you need a time range class for what you want to
do. Another possibility is to have the user enter the date and time
separately.
