Do I misunderstand, or is the section "Timers for Delayed Execution"
in the lispref totally misleading when it speaks about absolute values
for TIME in run-at-time? It claims that "Absolute times may be
specified in a wide variety of formats", but this seems false.
run-at-time uses diary-entry-time, which just recognizes times of day
in a few simple forms ("11:23pm" etc) . Dates will be at best ignored,
or at worst be wrongly parsed as times of day.
