New repeat option: after [number] hours (e.g. 'after 6 hours')

This is similar to another request (https://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/7162/). However, I would like support for repeat "after [number] hours". The suggested workaround for repeat "every [number] hours" does not work in this case because I want the next due time to depend on the time of the previous completion.
My use case is that I'm dealing with a head cold and I want to take my decongentant every 4 hours. However, if I'm late with a dose, I still have to wait 4 hours before taking it again. Setting up a task with repeat after 4 hours would be perfect for this. Also, looking over the completed tasks would (I think) give me a record of when I actually took it.

I was just thinking about this today. If a repeat could be linked to completion time that is awesome! My example is washing the sheets in my house. I want to do it once a week, but if I don't get to it until Friday I want the next time the task repeats to be on Friday!

This, please!
"Repeat after [X] hours" would be incredibly useful!
Also, "repeat EVERY [X] hours":https://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/7162/

I guess the most common use case would be to take a medication every/after X hours. Please implement this feature!

I need this feature to take medicine multiple times per day. Taking it late is not a problem, taking it early is, so the kludge of making three events and each repeats daily is no good.
When implementing this, be sure that 'repeat after 0 hours' is a valid option. I want to mark a task as completed and then have that task immediately regenerated as due right now (so today and this time) so that I can look at the completed task and see when I've done it.
I might complete the task zero times a day, one time a day, or multiple times in a given day. In each case my Completed tasks should show each completion and the date and time marked complete.
