Though that's an end time; -s <time> is also used in dlstat, and both
arguments are used to specify a range, rather than a point in time.  I'm
happy if that's what Tim wants to do, but so far, he seems to be trying to
specify a point.

My question for Tim is whether I can ask for events using some subset of
the time specification -- if I ask for HH:MM, will I get all events that
took place (or at least started) during that hour and minute, or is it a
parsing error?

FWIW, I still like the fmdump way of specifying time ranges, though plainly
it's not the only good way.
