I don't like dates just starting at midnight because I've run into too
many awkward cases where $time < $date doesn't do what you mean
because it assumes 0:00:00 when you meant 23:59:59. I'd rather have
dates becomes time-ranges.
Or perhaps don't make them coercible and require an explicit
conversion via $date.morning or $date.evening or something. (Maybe
require $time ∩ $date or $time ⊂ $date?)
