thanks for the suggestion, I saw it in your previous email.

The idea behind some helper commands to let people construct diary 
sexp is that:

- it won't complexify Org's syntax about timestamps
- such help commands can be maintained and improved independantly 
  from Org

Moreover, the search for a nice interface to building diary sexp
could help understanding what could be the best syntax for Org itself.

It's not that I'm too lazy to implement (I'm a bit, of course), but
I really think the syntax of timestamps should be "improved" very
carefully... it's the core of Org.

Thanks for bringing this issue to discussion!
