time_to_freeze.today() returns wrong time and type if TZ is not 'UTC' in env vars

[sfreilich]

When I run the tests with the latest version of freezegun, I get:

self = <freezegun.tests.test_datetimes.TestUnitTestMethodDecorator testMethod=test_method_decorator_works_on_unittest_kwarg_frozen_time>
frozen_time = <freezegun.api.FrozenDateTimeFactory object at 0x7f8a7ab07f70>

    @freeze_time('2013-04-09', as_kwarg='frozen_time')
    def test_method_decorator_works_on_unittest_kwarg_frozen_time(self, frozen_time):
        self.assertEqual(datetime.date(2013, 4, 9), datetime.date.today())
>       self.assertEqual(datetime.date(2013, 4, 9), frozen_time.time_to_freeze.today())
E       AssertionError: FakeDate(2013, 4, 9) != datetime.datetime(2013, 4, 8, 17, 0)

This is strange fore two reasons. First, the returned value is not in the expected timezone, given that tz_offset defaults to 0. Second, it's surprising that test assertion passed, since while datetime.date.today() should return a datetime.date, frozen_time.time_to_freeze is a datetime so that .today() should be a datetime, and datetimes don't compare equal to dates.

Was some past version of dateutil.parser parsing "2013-04-09" as a datetime.date instead of a datetime.datetime when no timezone was specified?

This seems to be fixed at head.

Ah, wait, nevermind, that was with TZ=UTC. I'm still confused why the test expects datetime.date.
