Use TIME in macros (e.g. shoot at 8 am and at 8 pm)

Hi,

i briefly searched the wiki and the forum but havent found a solution yet:
Is it possible to incorporate time-related functions into chdk? example is as follows: i want my camera to shoot a picture every day at a specific time. normally i would turn my camera on and via sleep functions and some calculation it would be possible to shoot a picture at an exact time. problem is, i would have to do the calculations every day, as i dont turn on my camera the exact same time everyday.
here would be a timerelated macrofunction handy.is it possible to have a parameter TIME or CLOCK? chdk can already display the time, so i guess it should be possible, right?
then i can write a script that no matter WHEN i turn on the camera, the photo will be taken at the exact same time, by just loading one script without editing anything else.
i hope you understand my request. this would be useful for other purposes as well, i presume.
other than that, chdk rocks, please continue coding such excellent software :)
regards, phox
