Hello,
I find myself often working intervals “backwards”, eg. when planning
transportation: I need to be there at XX:YY, thus need to depart 35min
before.
Org-mode has this great feature that when typing `11:12+00:35` it
automatically computes the interval 11:12-11:47.
What I'm wondering is, whether there'd be interest in having
eg. `11:47+-00:35`, that'd create the same interval but from an *end*
time and interval duration.
What do you think about this? Is there already a way of doing this I
don't know of?
Cheers,
Leo

Does anyone else find interest in this, or am I the only one having this
want? Does anyone have a better idea of syntax to do this “negative
interval”? `11am+-00:30` looks kind of weird, but `-` is already taken.
Also, I often find myself inputting minutes in those intervals. Do you
think a syntax like `11am+15'` would make sense, instead of
`11am+00:15`, which is less nice to type?
Cheers,
Leo
