If REST is included in the first TIME on a time-range timestamp then the entire
timestamp becomes a single range-less timestamp. To test I used the following
test document:
```
[1970-01-01 Thu 8:15-13:15foo]
[1970-01-01 Thu 8:15foo-13:15]
```
The first line parses as a timerange from 8:15-13:15.
The second line parses as a single timestamp at 8:15.

Subject: [PATCH] * org-syntax.org (Timestamps): Clarify that REST is not
supported on the start TIME in a time-range timestamp.
If REST is included in the first TIME on a time-range timestamp then the entire timestamp becomes a single range-less timestamp. To test I used the following test document:
```
[1970-01-01 Thu 8:15-13:15foo]
[1970-01-01 Thu 8:15foo-13:15]
```
The first line parses as a timerange from 8:15-13:15.
The second line parses as a single timestamp at 8:15.
