Yes, but that will not give the same days tomorrow, as it does today,
will it? The idea would be to e.g. be able to compare one half year with
the next and similar things. I am sure that there would be several uses
for a method of selecting a date range in the agenda, perhaps counting
the number of hits for certain tag or text matches ...
I thought I had just missed how to do this, but if the functionality is
in fact missing, please consider this a most humble feature request. If
my lisp-fu rises to a more useful level I will try to find a solution
myself.
