Thank you Eric, I'll follow the advice. As Rasmus showed,
'org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' works with a timestamp, but it does
not with (the result of) an org-class call. Ideally, what I would like
to do is to specify a set of classes using org-class syntax and, as a
result, get a set of headers. 'org-class' is a powerful tool, but just
not powerful enough yet...
