Splunk-like short format for due dates
(closed account) says:
The RTM accepted formats for due dates is rather verbose and limiting.
On the web-app it autocompletes some days of the week, which is helpful.
However, RTM lacks a shorthand for expressing other dates. Splunk has a decent relative date format based on h(hour), d(day), w(week), m(month), y(year), as [+-]N[hdwmy]. So -3d is 3 days ago, +3m is 3 months from now.
It also uses "@" to snap to a particular date in the range. So 2w@w3 is 2 weeks from now, snapping to 3rd day of the week (Tuesday).
Here is the full format:

Its too geeky not to like. Its clean and resembles somewhat database time/date representations. I support it.

It might take a bit of getting used to but once you are, it would be efficient and accurate. It also wouldn't impede on users who don't use the function. Nice idea.
