Thanks Matt, this is almost there; however, if this is a TODO item,
and if I mark it done, than it's marked done once and for all, and not
only for given day, like org-mode timestamps with repeater interval.
Any further suggestions here?  Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems very
strange to me that a need for alike timestamps was not recognized in
org-mode - for example, how would one build a TODO item for something
like a class spanning say over two months and with class hours say Mon
and Wed between 10am and 11am?

Also, is this placing time at the start of item, and having it
recognized when agenda view built some kind of special syntax?  I
wasn't able to find it mentioned in org-mode documentation...

Thanks.
