Fuzzy Time of Day

This filter will display the time as word(s) indicating roughly the time of day ("Morning", "Afternoon", "Evening", etc). For example, the following template snippet: Posted in the {{ post.date|fuzzy_time }} of {{ post.date|date:"F j, Y"} }}. will result in the following (assuming `post.date == datetime.datetime(2007, 6, 13, 20, 57, 55, 765000)`): Posted in the evening of June 13, 2007. The terms used and breakpoints (hours only) can be rather arbitrary so you may want to adjust them to your liking. See the docs for [bisect][] for help in understanding the code. Just remember you should have one less breakpoint than periods and the first breakpoint falls at the end of the first period. The idea was inspired by [Dunstan Orchard][1], although the code is *very* different (php case statement). He uses quite a bit more periods in a day, so you might want to take a look.
