Argument definitions
This function takes a date/time in "YYYYMMDDhhmmss+ZHZM" format, and returns the same value but rounded down to the beginning of an interval indicated by the second argument. Only the shortest distinguishing prefix of the interval name is needed, so "y" can be used in place of "year", but "mo" and "mi" are needed to distinguish between "month" and "minute". This argument can be in either uppercase or lowercase. If this argument is unrecognized, the date/time will be returned unchanged.
