Hmm. I'm probably pretty unimaginative, but when the test is
 select datetime 'tomorrow' - datetime 'today';

it is pretty hard to make this "DST proof". The alternative was to not
test this case at all, which I definitely was *not* interested in.

Ideas? At least with the test as-is, I get nice fan mail twice a year
;)
