Re: [Emacs-orgmode] Suggested change to round timestamps.

[Thomas Baumann]

Useful, maybe, for accounting purposes, in this case, the calculation of
the timespan in between could be extended to compute and insert a
rounded value.

For other purposes I would stay with the exact value (which of course
is still possible in Alex version), well, this is my personal opinion.
