There no known bugs in std.datetime. My guess would be that the issue lies with 
appender and Interval!(Date).init and/or something set to void if appender does 
that at all. But since Date.init would be equal to Date.init, it seems extremely 
bizarre that Interval!(Date).init would have its begin and end not be equal, 
which makes it less likely that Interval!(Date).init would be the problem. So, I 
don't know. The code is very thoroughly tested, but that doesn't mean that I 
didn't miss something, and it's possible that there's a bug in appender. I'm not 
at all familiar with how appender works. I'll have to take a look at it tonight.

But std.datetime has a ton of unit tests and, as far as I know, is currently 
passing all of them on Linux, Windows, and OS X (I don't know about FreeBSD). 
The most likely problems would be on OS X or FreeBSD, since I don't have a 
system with either OS X or FreeBSD, and there could be problems in time zones 
other than America/Los_Angeles - particularly on Windows where you can't easily 
test time zones other than the one that you're in - since all of my development 
has been done in America/Los_Angeles. But I'm not aware of any bugs. So, if you 
do find problems, please report them.
