Hello,

Please would someone have a look at this enhancement request?

Given a columns definition like this:

#+COLUMNS: %50ITEM %5Effort(Hours est.){est+}

if the property :Effort: contains time values in HH:MM format then the
{est+} summary type doesn't work because it requires a real number
('1.1') or a range of reals (e.g. '1.1-2.5').

There are already functions in org-colview.el that convert between
string of HH:MM and numbers.  I am gradually learning elisp and have
recently taken a long time to achieve something fairly simple so am
passing this one along!

Thanks,

Myles
