[O] Is it possible to "escape" time entries in to-do headings for org-agenda?

[Rohit Patnaik]

Hello,

According to the org-mode manual:

>In the headline of the entry itself, a time(range) may also appear as plain 
>text (like ‘12:45’ or a ‘8:30-1pm’).

Is it possible to "escape" this text so that strings like that are *not* 
interpreted as times or time ranges? Failing that, is it possible to disable 
the interpretation of plain text as time ranges? I have entries that have 
"time-like" strings, (ie. things like 7:16) that should not be interpreted as a 
timestamp. However, when I display such entries in org-agenda, these entries 
are displayed with a time prefix, which results in the text appearing garbled.

Thanks,
