Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 I think I'm ditching string support. It's so much easier from a code
 perspective (hard to parse) and less ambiguous if you just pass an array
 of year, month, day, hour, minutes, and/or seconds.

 > Could we get a 'field' parameter too? We have `post_date`,
 `post_date_gmt`, `post_modified` and `post_modified_gmt` which could all
 work with this query format. `post_date` would be the default of course.

 Totally.

 Replying to [comment:8 GaryJ]:
 > C/W/Should the arguments here also eventually cover dates stored in meta
 fields too?

 No, I don't think so. So much added complexity and I think the existing
 `meta_query` arguments should be able to handle most (but not all) of that
 kind of stuff.
