[Feature Request] Please add negative relative dates.

Problem

Hello, currently there is support for relative dates but not negative relative dates. Sometimes I have an event to start 1 or 2 days before the previous event and continue forward a specified amount of time. Please add support to this or let me know if this is already something that can be done. I have read the documentation and didn't find anything regarding this.

Possible notation example:

group TestGroup:
2023-05-06/1 week: test item 1
-1 day/1 week: test item 2
endGroup

One more thing...

I use the vscode extension, if it's possible is there a way for me to manually update the parser?

Found a workaround. Quite messy, but it works (for me).
I don't want to declare all that milestones.
!work.end would be nice.

2025-05-01: start !start
!start 3 month: work !work
after !work: end !end
before !end 1 week: final tasks

It will be nice also to have a task set for three days after te beginning of another.
Just like this

This version breaks the view for me:

section Eras

group CE

0000-01-01: CE 0 !ce0

group BCE

before !ce0 271820 year: BCE 3_000_000_000 !bce1
before !bce1 271820 year: BCE 3_400_000_000
