All syntaxes are mostly possible.
Here is one way, defining a syntax parsing word to get a string and convert
to a timestamp at parse time:
USING: calendar.format lexer namespaces sequences strings.parser ;
SYNTAX: TIME"
lexer get skip-blank parse-string hm>timestamp suffix! ;
Then you could use it:
IN: scratchpad TIME" 05:20" .
T{ timestamp { hour 5 } { minute 20 } }
I could imagine adding support to pattern match other common patterns like:
YYYY-MM-DD
HH:MM:SS
HH:MM:SS.sss
etc.
Best,
John.
