So, is it okay to stop with just supporting "-" and not support things
like "-@{yesterday}"?

Note that I did not request that these things work, just that they seem
to be relevant tests: IMHO it's OK to reject them, but for example we
don't want them to segfault. And having a test is a good hint that you
thought about what could happen and to document it.
