Nooo, please! Clearly these details depend on the data source. For
most grabbers it is not possible to know exactly what the data source
is going to do next - and adding extra code to work around the case
where it decides to start a day's listings at 06:00 instead of 05:00
rather defeats the point of having --days and --offset, which is that
they are close to the data source and so fast and easy to implement.
I think the only 'option' we need to find out these values is to run
the grabber and look at its output.
