Yes it will do the trick. But looking at the source, it doesn't seem to 
be very secure to use a function that's waiting for a human date. But 
why not.

Very interesting scenario. It sounds very near what I need.

The reject(reject_cascading) statement is a short cut for 
reject(tt2=reject_cascading), isn't it ? May be it could be documented
