Thank you! There it is, on the web, 80% of what I was looking for (of course). 
This certainly has the same intent. It does not add any metadata (such as a 
prefix " - Added on "), but the documentation for org-insert-time-stamp makes 
it obvious how to do that. What eludes me is how to make it obey the 
org-clock-into-drawer setting. I'm assuming it doesn't.
