I agree it's very confusing for users, and I wanted to give my users
some documentation on what works...
The problem is that these are exact examples taken from Apple's
documentation and they don't work, and I can't find any documentation
of what really does work.
I think I'll file a bug report on this.

So out of 5 trials, 2 came out as expected, and the three that
didn't work were explicitly examples taken from Apple's
documentation.
dateWithNaturalLanguageString: just ignores the words it doesn't
understand, so "day after tomorrow" is "blah blah tomorrow" is
"tomorrow" to NSDate.
Very, very confusing when you don't realize what's going on.
