Can we specify a date format to use to parse the start and end times? I
suspect that's a useful piece of sugar as it would require people to not have
to look up the epoch time translation every time they want to run this for a
time range. I'd just pass an arg with the date format to use. If it's not
specified, then assume epoch time.
