[ruby-core:75653] [Ruby trunk Misc#10473] Date.to_datetime.to_time != Date.to_time

Issue #10473 has been updated by Kaneko Yuichiro.


`Date#to_time` interprets date as the local time zone.
But `Date#to_datetime` interprets date as UTC.

I think this incompatibility is a king of bug.
We have two ways to solve this incompatibility, to make both methods to interpret date as the local time zone,
or to interpret date UTC.

It is difficult to judge which is more natural or useful.
But I always interpret date as the local time zone in my daily life...
