How to avoid time part in date comparisons?

How to avoid time part in date comparisons?

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

Suppose you want to make a list of tasks you will have to do tomorrow.

The most logical expression would be "SCHEDULED = tomorrow":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
                 '("1" "Tomorrow"
                   tags-todo "SCHEDULED=\"<+1d>\""
                   ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Tomorrow"))) t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, you'll "lose" timed tasks such as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** TODO Check weekend hours at the gym
   DEADLINE: <2013-09-13 Fri 12:30>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hence, you need to write a more complex expression, like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
                 '("2" "Tomorrow"
                   tags-todo "SCHEDULED>=\"<+1d>\"+SCHEDULED<\"<+2d>\""
                   ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Tomorrow (full)"))) t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is there a better way to write such a basic request?

Best regards,
  Seb

BTW, it's the same for "Today", for which we *must* replace the intuitive
expression

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
                     tags-todo "SCHEDULED=\"<today>\""
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

by

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
                     tags-todo "SCHEDULED<\"<tomorrow>\""
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

if we want to see all today's tasks (including the ones with a "time"
component)...

Best regards,
  Seb
