To implement rounding, each date needs to have a period of time to align
to.  I call that a duration.  But if you have such a duration than
I propose a solution where you don't need any kind of rounding.

If “yesterday” has a duration of one day, than “date:yesterday” would be
equivalent to “date:yesterday..yesterday + 1 day” and this works
perfectly well with ranges open on the right side.  So to implement date
specifications with a single date, no additional code is really
required.
