What's the most convenient way(s) to input one or more times into
spreadsheet cells?

1:2:3    <- works
=TIME(1;2;3) <- works well, but is awfully inconvenient
="1:2:3"   <- doesn't work (it's just a string)
="1:2:3"+0  <- seems to work in every situation I've tried it so far
=1:2:3   <- doesn't work (shows "Err:502")
=1:2:3+1:2:3 <- doesn't work (it did in OOo2 but now shows "Err:502")

So, 1:2:3 seems to be OK if there's only one time, but if you, say,
need to add 5,5 minutes to it you can't just append +0:5:30 but will
also have to add quotes and stuff, so 1:2:3 becomes ="1:2:3"+"0:5:30".

I'm currently using ="1:2:3"+0 because if I want to add a time I can
simply replace the 0 with that time without having to insert anything
else anywhere. However, I haven't seen this documented anywhere (well,
actually I haven't seen any of these documented anywhere) and it seems
kinda hackish, so I wouldn't be surprised if it broke at some point.

Are there other even remotely convenient ways?
