Problem

Relative days of the week (e.g. "last monday") are not parsed

GNU date seems to handle relative dates without issue.

Tested using coreutils v0.0.30

Example

# last monday
❯ date -d 'last monday'
Mon Mar 10 12:00:00 AM EDT 2025

❯ uutils-date -d 'last monday'
uutils-date: invalid date 'last monday'

# next monday
❯ date -d 'next monday'
Mon Mar 17 12:00:00 AM EDT 2025

❯ uutils-date -d 'next monday'
uutils-date: invalid date 'next monday'

Also extends to hours, probably any relative timestamp:

jak@jak-t14-g3 ~/P/D/apt (solver3)> ~/.cargo/bin/coreutils  touch -m -d "now + 1 hour" README.md
touch: Unable to parse date: now + 1 hour

This is actually unrelated. It's just a minor issue with how this crate parses numbers:

$ date -d "now + 1 hour"
Mon Apr 21 01:33:19 PM PDT 2025

$ cargo run -q date -d "now + 1 hour"
date: invalid date 'now + 1 hour'

$ cargo run -q date -d "now +1 hour"
Mon Apr 21 13:33:29 PDT 2025

I made a separate PR for it than for the original issue: #129
