In other buffers, I press M-k (bound to kill-this-buffer).

for a long time...

If the case really doesn't matter in a time-string, then of course just
down-case the string and then parse it.

But I think, that we have found another issue (just a very tiny one):
the number of killed buffers, that are not GCed, keeps growing.
