-------------------------+-----------------------------
 Date/Time template tags follow a certain hierarchy with one exception:

 - `the_time()` > `get_the_time()` > `get_post_time()` > `mysql2date()`
 - `the_modified_time()` > `get_the_modified_time()` >
 `get_post_modified_time()` > `mysql2date()`
 - `the_date()` > `get_the_date()` > `mysql2date()`
 - `the_modified_date()` > `get_the_modified_date()` >
 `get_post_modified_time()` > `mysql2date()`

 There is `get_the_date()` > `get_post_time()` level missing. Which means
 that low level `get_post_time` filter in it will only affect time branch,
 but not date branch. This is inconsistent and potentially unexpected.

 Will work on a patch to adjust `get_the_date()` implementation.
