apparently these output and the conclusions where done while the
prototype script had a "try: except: reuse variable from previous
iteration" error

(this got out of sync, I must have edited only the times)

* go's `when` does not support "chains" like `2.years.3.months.ago`.
* `10am noon` is ambigious, we don't want so support it.
* date only `2008-12-01` should not retain "current" hour:minute

Parsing dates is really slow.
On the other hand, this optimization might cause error if entering a
date looking like a TID, but I'm not sure there is.

- add help tidrange topic.
- change all commands to refer to it.
- add TODO to parse tid from absolute and relative dates (e.g.
  1.month.ago, similarly to how git can do). Dateparser

  will probably be of help here.

Currently zodbanalyze analyzes whole storage. However it becomes
non practical to make a full zodbanalyze run on whole storage because
usually there are many transactions and objects and the time to run full
zodbanalyze is huge.

However, similarly to zodbdump, we can teach zodbanalyze to analyze a
particular range of transactions. This should help to analyze a range of
changes for e.g.  yesterday, or for last week or similar.

Analyze uses regular ZODB storage API: .iterator() & friends. This way
it should be possible apply it not only to FileStorage, but to other
type of storages as well - for example to NEO and ZEO.

Use zodbtools.util.storageFromURL to open a storage by knowing its URL.
Preserve support to directly apply zodbanalyze to FileStorage deltas.

Storages need to be closed to indicate a clean access end. If a storage is
not closed cleanly it might require to spend time and resources on next
open. For example FileStorage might need to recompute the index.

This should be in 7f0bbf7e (zodbdump: Add golden test).

Zodbcommit reads transaction description from stdin and commits read data into
ZODB. The transaction to be committed is read in zodbdump format, but without
first 'txn' header line. For example:

    user "author"
    description "change 123"
    extension ""
    obj 0000000000000001 4 null:00
    ZZZZ

This tool could be useful for testing and for low-level database
maintenance. Please see zodbcommit.py docstring for more details.
