If you want two separate lines for the same entry, one for the time
spent on the timestamp'ed day, another one for the time spent the next
day, I think it would be confusing -- the (somewhat implicit) rule in
the clocktable is to have one task per clocked item.  Also, this would
require internally processing CLOCK: lines that span over two days,
and this is not trivial.

But perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

Can you provide an example?
