Description
I'd like to have a way to add new events more conveniently. For exemple:
khal new thursday drink beer
khal new '2 months' laundry
In fact, using GNU date from command line, you can use all kind of dates format, like the ones I explained. I was thinking about using the same in khal, and I would do that myself but don't know where the dates and times are parsed in khal's code. Any pointer would be appreciated, so that I can do it and offer a patch
Thanks

Research direction
Start by locating khal's command-line event creation entry point and the code that parses dates and times; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the existing parser with GNU date-style inputs such as “thursday” and “2 months,” then add coverage showing those forms create events with the expected dates.
