 If a post author sets the post date somewhere in the future, it is now
 automatically scheduled for publication.

 Ideally, one would be able to choose whether to:

 1. schedule the post for later publication

 2. publish the post immediately with a future timestamp

 Uses:

 - For publishing posts about upcoming events

 - For fictional blogs that take place in the future

 Basically, if I can publish posts with a past date, I'd like to be able to
 publish them with a future date.
 In effect, separate post scheduling from the post date.
