Description:
------------
strtotime() should be able to parse "midnight" and "noon".


Reproduce code:
---------------
echo strtotime("midnight");
echo strtotime("noon");


Expected result:
----------------
echo strtotime("midnight");
  should print the time stamp for the next midnight
  (midnight tomorrow).

echo strtotime("noon");
  should print the time stamp for the next noon
  (noon today/tomorrow depending on the current time).

echo strtotime("12:00 am");
echo strtotime("12 am");
echo strtotime("12:00 pm");
echo strtotime("12 pm");
  all do the correct things.


Actual result:
--------------
echo strtotime("midnight");
  returns -1.

echo strtotime("noon");
  returns -1.

Reclassified as feature request and assigned to Derick so he can add in PHP 5.1.x. :)

I can implement this, but I do not agree that "noon" should go to the next day if it's already in the afternoon here. IMO that doesn't make any sense. Also, I'm not totally sure why "noon" and "midnight" are better than "00:00" and "12:00"...
