    https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/20015
  
    SPARK-17174 originally described few functions related with hour, min, etc. 
but I received an advice to fix up other related functions too even though they 
could also be done alone too. I agreed with doing other functions too at that 
time and I tried to propose as so.
    
    I am saying I think this PR actually more targets adding another (better) 
version of `trunc` to support day, hour, min, etc. in the format. In this case, 
I think we should deduplicate the logics with related functions too.
    
    Ah, so, I think I am less sure about why this should be done alone leaving 
out other related changes, and other functions we (I) usually reject.
    
    and I think you and @cloud-fan say the reasons are, it's common and this PR 
targets a separate functionality consistent with other DBMS.
