Description
Please, could it be possible to implement "START SLAVE UNTIL TIMESTAMP = <timestamp>"? It could be useful for backup purposes when a few slaves (of different masters) have to be in sync. Currently it is possible by searching binlogs for the given timestamp and setting "UNTIL MASTER_LOG_FILE = 'log_name', MASTER_LOG_POS = log_pos".
"START SLAVE UNTIL TIMESTAMP = <timestamp>" would greatly simplify this and also allow stopping in the future when a binlog entry with a greater timestamp arrives.
