 Right now, we support sending `date` or `modified` with a full ISO 8601
 date (`yyyy-mm-ddThh:ii:ssZ`), and we also support `before` and `after`.
 However, there's no easy way to get posts for a certain month, without
 building the `before` and `after` yourself.

 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ISO 8601] gives us a way to
 specify partial dates: `yyyy` and `yyyy-mm` are both valid, and we could
 totally support them. This avoids the need for a separate `year` or
 `month` query parameter. Internally, this can map to `before` and `after`
 values.
