My honest gut reaction to this is "no." I think it'll bloat the action
list unnecessarily with actions that are pretty obscure (from my
perspective, anyway), and it meanders into the date territory I've
purposefully stayed out of.

The actions that exist are generic enough to implement this without
adding to the script. For example, why not just create an @wait
context? And do list @wait to see all the items?

Or use append to add w:2006-06-28 manually?

Remember @ and p: are not the only notations available - you can use
whatever notations you want, and list by them as usual.
