I agree and I did not propose that. What I said was that in the process of
implementing truncate to rrule in dateutil you may encounter some common
pattern that may benefit from a new stdlib datetime feature.
The operation that I often need is
def truncate_datetime(t:datetime, interval:timedelta, start=datetime.min) ->
datetime
"""Return the largest datetime of the form start + interval * i not greater
than t"""
but it is exactly the kind of one-liner that does not belong to stdlib.
