It seems that parse("yesterday at 5") does not interpret 5 as time (i.e. hours). It would be nice if this was the case, as this seems a natural way of expressing time of day. From a brief look at the code, it looks like 5 on its own is too general to be interpreted as an indication of hours, however, I think that at could be used to pinpoint the meaning of the integer number.
I understand that in locales that do not use the 24h clock, the simple 5 might be ambiguous (see #210), but at the moment this also does not work in locales that use the 24h clock. For example in the de_DE locale, gestern um 5 and gestern um 17 do not get parsed correctly and the default time of the locale is used.
