I think this would be a neat feature. But as a first pass which can work 
immediately, what about using one of the multiple text expansion packages that 
are Org-agnostic to achieve this: Yasnippets or abbrev mode, for example?

This doesn't maintain the "semantics (time still fuzzy)", but does let you 
define and enter time ranges in a simpler way.
