The main reason I chose to make this a positional argument is that tagged

my suggested default is "iso8601" which seems useful to me, at least for
a relational comparator. but if you don't like it, by all means make
PART required. (I should've called it DATE-PART, btw.)
I like having a required tagged argument (AFAIK that would be a first in sieve)
even less than I like giving part a default value.
In any case, unless someone else chimes in with an opinion on this I'm sticking
with a positional argument.
