Let's say I have this:

<2011-09-15 Thu>--<2011-09-16 Fri>

and I put my cursor over this and press C-c C-y my minibuffer will
spit out 1 day.

I would like a command that does the same thing if i execute it over
just <2011-09-16 Fri>.

Sometimes I'm interested in how much time there is left to a specific
appointment.

Best Regards /Alexander
