Description
When booking an event with new command it would be useful to define custom recurrence; Example - bi-weekly events are quite prevalent. I currently book these kind of events via a python script; But don't have the benefit of managing these events as a single entity.
Existing functionality:
-r, –repeat=RRULE specify if and how this event should be recurring. Valid values for RRULE are daily, weekly, monthly and yearly
-u, –until=UNTIL specify until when a recurring event should run
Add
-e, -every=FREQUENCY specify 'repeat every' frequency for a recurring event; Ex: every two weeks (bi-weekly).
Usage:
khal new -a work 26.07. Great Event -g meeting -r weekly -e 2
EDIT: Looks like this feature is supported in interactive mode; If you could add it to CLI as well, would be much appreciated.

Research direction
Start at the khal new CLI command and compare its recurrence handling with the interactive mode, where custom recurrence is already supported. Verify the requested -e/--every option with the bi-weekly example and confirm that the resulting event is managed as one recurring entity.
