Dear Maintainer,

I found a problem in the date command, when parsing dates with the -d option:
Separating date and time with a "T" gives an incorrect result for the time.

This is correct:
$ TZ=UTC date -d "20210922 0937"
Wed Sep 22 09:37:00 UTC 2021

While this gives a wrong result:
$ TZ=UTC date -d "20210922T0937"
Wed Sep 22 16:37:00 UTC 2021

According to the GNU coreutils manual, available at
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Combined-date-and-time-of-day-items.html#Combined-date-and-time-of-day-items
both alternatives should work the same:

29.5 Combined date and time of day items
The ISO 8601 date and time of day extended format consists of an ISO 8601 date, 
a ‘T’ character separator, and an ISO 8601 time of day. 
This format is also recognized if the ‘T’ is replaced by a space.
In this format, the time of day should use 24-hour notation...
