AFAICS, a call to 'date' is needed to "convert" the 'date' command plus an appropriate string to the date data type, before you can do anything with it.

What do you mean by "a call to 'date'"?

It's like a call to arms, but less violent and more social. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Is 'date' a function? I thought

date "Jan 1"

was an object specifier, not a function call?

It's an object specifier.

This problem was discussed at similar length about three months ago; there's a bug filed on it.
