Version 2.2
Here we go again. I've been tweaking the timespec some more. Now we have zulu (UTC) time. Minutes are the default unit. You can say "9am tuesday". Now the pseudo-BNF is in README.timespec. Also a few bugfixes since 2.1, and a gem.

Version 2.1
Crème Rappel has graduated from a simple shell script using at(1), to a Ruby application completely independent of at(1). This greatly simplifies installation, and makes feature creep new features a practical possibility.
In fact, the new features are already rolling in. Time specifications are still at-compatible, but you can shorten everything to the most unambiguous. For example, + 5 minutes becomes +5m. Also supported are YYYY-MM-DD dates and seconds. Here's the pseudo-BNF:
timespec = [now] + count units | time [date]
units = seconds | minutes | hours | days | weeks | months | years
time = [H]HMM[.SS] [am|pm] | [H]H:MM[.SS] [am|pm] | midnight | noon | teatime
date = month-name day | DD.MM.[YY]YY | MM/DD/[YY]YY | MMDD[YY]YY | [YY]YY-MM-DD |
today | tomorrow
