I have something similar, but only with the date (no time) in ISO
format.  This lets you easily overwriting existing date stamps.

% remove YYYY-MM-DD and YYYY/MM/DD and replace with the current date
define today ()
{
    bskip_chars ("-/0-9");
    if (re_looking_at ("\\d+[-/]\\d+[-/]\\d+")) {
        push_mark();
        skip_chars ("-/0-9");
        del_region();
    }

    variable tm = localtime (_time ());
    vinsert ("%04d-%02d-%02d", 1900 + tm.tm_year, tm.tm_mon+1,
tm.tm_mday);
}


I don't bother saving the edit point before the bskip_chars.
