      bool relative:   Relative to completion. False means delete the node at the real time specified.

   attr = Autocancel( 1,30, true )              # delete node 1 hour and 30 minutes after completion
   attr = Autocancel( TimeSlot(0,10), true )    # delete node 10 minutes after completion
   attr = Autocancel( TimeSlot(10,10), false )  # delete node at 10:10 after completion
   attr = Autocancel( 3  )                      # delete node 3 days after completion

   t1 = Task('t1',
              Autocancel(2,0,true))             # delete task 2 hours after completion
