Yes of course, another timestamp! Great, now I can reschedule a postponed/cancelled lecture.

Thanks for the pointer, it could be very handy in my use-case, but this
function copies the org-class as is for all clones. I would like to
generate a list of headers, one for each session (with the actual date
of the session). Maybe I will try to see how org-class computes all the
dates, then I can clone the header with the appropriate time-shift/new
date.
