This could be done of course - but I am not sure how common your use  
case is.
And I quess it is nearly as easy to got to the entry and type  
`SCHDEULED: C-c .'
for the few cases where you need it?

If I nt forward to implement this, should the extra SCHEDULED stamp
be in the same second line of the entry, or in an extra line?  Any
other votes on this issue?
