There is already a spelling for that operation, and it is d.date(). I'm not sure that there is a strong enough argument for adding a second way to spell it, but I won't close this yet to see what other people think. Personally I don't think it has ever occurred to me to do date(datetime) (although I have wanted to pass a string to the constructor), and I've wanted the operation and found the 'date()' method more than once.
