 Could add a function in the ORM for handling today date that uses native
 templates of databases without having to go through some
 `TruncDate(Now())`

 I'm assuming something like this:


 {{{
 class Today(Func):
     template = "CURRENT_DATE"
     output_field = DateField()

     def as_postgresql(self, compiler, connection, **extra_context):
         # PostgreSQL's CURRENT_TIMESTAMP means "the time at the start of
 the
         # transaction". Use STATEMENT_TIMESTAMP to be cross-compatible
 with
         # other databases.
         return self.as_sql(
             compiler, connection, template="STATEMENT_TIMESTAMP()",
 **extra_context
         )

     def as_mysql(self, compiler, connection, **extra_context):
         return self.as_sql(
             compiler, connection, template="CURRENT_DATE()",
 **extra_context
         )

     def as_sqlite(self, compiler, connection, **extra_context):
         return self.as_sql(
             compiler,
             connection,
             template="STRFTIME('%%%%Y-%%%%m-%%%%d', 'NOW')",
             **extra_context,
         )

 }}}
