Yes.

You can use `read-string' and try to match either a wholenumberp (as
"[0-9]\+") or a time spec (as "[0-9]\+:[0-9]\\{2\\}").

I don't think we need to trigger the calendar: relying on (concat
(format-time-string "%F " last-valid) time) is good enough.

No need to support am/pm notation either, as long as we advertize the
need to enter HH:MM time.

We shall support this for both k/K ("keep") and g/K ("got back"),
don't you think so?

Thanks a lot!  Since this is a new feature, I'd like to polish it
before Org 9.4 (which I initially planned for tomorrow, but I will
adapt.)
