I noticed that  
ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Calculations::ClassMethods.end\_of\_month()  
returns a new Time with the time set to 00:00:00. I expected it to  
return  
23:59:59.

Am I missing something? Should this be changed?

I have also noticed this, and it is driving me up the wall. Any way  
around it?
