Description
Is it possible to have a similar functionality as PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH': 'last'|'first' but for time?
The idea is I'd like to be able to define time ranges of entire months such as:
--from March --to March that would give me 01-Mar 00:00 to 31-Mar 23:59.
Currently with PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH': 'last' I'm able to get 01-Mar 00:00 to 31-Mar 00:00, but that doesn't cover the full month.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH setting and month-only ranges are handled in dateparser. Compare the current March-to-March result with the requested 01-Mar 00:00 through 31-Mar 23:59 behavior. Done means the new time-range behavior is covered by tests and preserves existing day-of-month handling.
