Date/time prompt issues

[potash]

The following examples (from the org-mode manual) don't work:

• names of months, e.g. 'jan 1', 'january 1', etc.
• single hour times, e.g. '1:15pm' (as opposed to '01:15pm' which works)

Thanks for reminding me on that. There are a few more designators than
those (e.g., anything referring to ISO weeks) that VimOrganizer doesn't
support.

I originally left them out since there are other ways to quickly designate
same dates (e.g., Jan 1 can be specified with 1/1 ) but I've been meaning
to go back and flesh those out. . .

They won't be part of major new version I'm pushing out this week, but
hopefully soon after.

I ended up adding support in date/time prompt for the examples you gave and will include them in next version.

Those examples were:

• single hour times, e.g. '1:15pm' (as opposed to '01:15pm' which works)

Please note that prior to this point the entry of time above, '01:15pm' did _not_work. Well it worked, in that it left you with a time of 01:15, but it didn't do what you wanted becajuse VimOrganizer works with a 24 hour clock in all date/time designators. The 'pm' you added was simply ignored and a time of 01:15 was entered in the datespec instead of the proper '13:15', which corresponds to 01:15pm. This issue will be fixed also: you will be able to enter 1:15pm and it will be stored in the entered datespec as 13:15, e.g., <2011-12-07 Wed 13:15>

Thanks for pointing out these issues.
