Which predicate keeps a datetime column SARGable for a single day filter?

Problem Statement

Explanation

Filtering the raw column with a range allows an index seek. Wrapping the column in a function blocks index use in many engines and forces scans. A half-open range (greater-than-or-equal to start and less than next day) is even safer across time types and precision.
