Scheduled Private Messages

Summary:
We're getting scheduled posts, that we can write in advance to automatically post at a later date. Can we get scheduled private messages, too?

Description:
I'm currently organizing a community project that involves people signing up to do certain things on certain days. It would be really cool if, right when they sign up, I could schedule a reminder message to be sent to them just before their date.

I think there are a lot of projects like this where pre-scheduled deadline reminders could make people's managing a lot easier. You could do all sorts of other neat things with this capability, too. Especially if you could send scheduled PMs to yourself.

The only downside I can see is if people abuse it to spam other users; but you can already ban people from PMing you, so I don't see that as being a big problem.
