The following clocktable line:
#+BEGIN: clocktable :tstart "<-7d>" :tend "<now>"

#+END:

errors out on the tstart & tend times
According to all the documentation I can find, these are both valid
'special' time strings.
Attempts to evaluate the clocktable with C-c C-c give the error:

Updating dynamic block `clocktable' at line 57...
org-parse-time-string: Not a standard Org-mode time string: <-7d>

however this:
#+BEGIN: clocktable :tstart "<2013-05-08 Wed>" :tend "<2013-05-09 Thu>"
#+END:

works just fine

More info:
This appears to be failing in org-parse-time-string, when it compares the
string "<now>" to org-ts-regexp0
Nothing in the regexp nor in the call tree is attempting to process the
special time values.

It seems like there is missing code needed either in org-parse-time-string
to handle the special strings, or in the clock-updater code to convert the
special time strings to actual times before passing them on.

Is there somewhere else I should be submitting this bug?
