+Absolute times may be specified using a string with a limited variety of
+formats, and are taken to be times @emph{today}, even if already in the
+past. The recognized forms are XXXX, X:XX, or XX:XX (military time),
+and XXam, XXAM, XXpm, XXPM, XX:XXam, XX:XXAM XX:XXpm, or XX:XXPM. A
+period can be used instead of a colon to separate the hour and minute

In most cases, @var{repeat} has no effect on when @emph{first} call
takes address@hidden alone specifies that. There is one exception:
