Even though I fixed the reported issue with agenda not showing headings
with matching timestamps inside property drawers, this situation is
revealing a big inconsistency in Org mode's handling of timestamps.

org-at-timestamp-p usage implies that Org syntax for timestamps is not
only context-dependent, but also depends on current command!

org-at-timestamp-p is called with non-nil argument in a number of
functions in Org:
- org-clock-timestamps-change
- org-mouse-delete-timestamp
- org-mouse-context-menu
- org-follow-timestamp-link
- org-get-repeat
- org-auto-repeat-maybe
- org-time-stamp
- ... many more in org.el

So, depending on the current command, Org may on may not treat objects
matching org-ts-regexp-both as timestamps.

This situation complicates syntax and makes org-element unreliable when
dealing with Org buffers.

Should we just simply allow timestamps to be a part of node property
values? Should we _not_ treat timestamp-looking text outside their
allowed contexts (like quotes, source blocks, etc) as timestamps?

Best,
Ihor
