[pmwiki-users] {(...)} markup recipe available

[Roman]

Thank you for this recipe. I've immediately found lot of usages for
it. And it is extensible as usually!

The only comment I have is that I would transpose parameters of ftime
expression so second parameter (format) could be omitted. That would
allow users to specify only "when" parameter, for example {(ftime
"next Monday")} without the need to always specify format. In this
case, default format defined by administrator would be used.
