maybe adding to the language a DELETE keyword

REM fri AT 07:00 DELETE ONTRIGGER MSG wake up!

It could have options to delete the event when the reminder is
triggered, or after a given date, which the user could specify himself,
or after a date that can be taken from the UNTIL part of the reminder.
