Initialize from existing `datetime.date` object?

[jacebrowning]

pendulum.instance(dt) works for datetime.datetime, but how can I initialize a Pendulum object from an existing datetime.date (specifically a Django DateField)?

---

My current workaround:

pendulum.parse(str(date_object))

from datetime import datetime as dt
import pendulum
pendulum.instance(dt.fromordinal(date_object.toordinal()))

This should work.

Edit:
This is better:

pendulum.datetime(date.year,date.month,date.day)

Could we add that behavior to pendulum.instance()?

I would also check for datetime.time so we have all possible cases of a datetime covered with Pendulum.

I would like to pump this. I find doing this over and over and would love if pendulum had this feature built in.

This is a no-brainer for me. I work with an ORM that returns datetime.date instances, and having to pick them apart to pass them into pendulum.instance feels like the symptom of a missing feature.
