Yes, I know :-). But as "generate_series(A, B, C)" can also
be written as "A + generate_series(0, (C - B) / C) * C" (or
something "flexible" like that :-)), a
"generate_series(DATE, DATE)" would inter alia get rid off
the need to cast the result from TIMESTAMP to DATE and to
explicitly specify "'1 day'". Just a small, trivial enhance-
ment for a popular use case :-).
