This does seem like a useful feature.  The UI side of this is pretty
trivial (although it'll clutter subscription workflows).  Unfortunately,
the data side is a wee bit tricky (at least for read-write shares) since
we need to preserve the alarms when we edit the events.

I think getting this to work and testing it is probably a day or two of
work, I'm not sure we can fit that work in before preview, but it
certainly seems worthy of prioritizing.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
