I agree that it would be nice to be able to tweak a few more parameters
when creating quick reminders.  However, I'm not too fond of your
suggested syntax, because it breaks the "natural language" idea.

I'm considering building the quick reminder feature on top of
configurable templates.  The idea is that you would be able to create a
custom template with the "+60" built in, and bind it to a different
keypress.

I'm open to other ideas, but this is the way I'm leaning right now.
