Multiple timers and alarms!

From an email I received from Amazon last week:

Quote:
Cooking more than one dish or need another alarm to get up in the morning? Amazon Echo is now ready to help with multiple timers and alarms--just ask:

- "Alexa, start a timer for 10 minutes."
- "Alexa, start another timer for 15 minutes."
- "Alexa, set an alarm for 8:30 AM."
- "Alexa, set another alarm for 9:30 AM."

You can also view, edit, cancel, and set specific volumes for your timers and alarms in the Echo App.

Want to take your timers and alarms one step further? @jimwoz uses an IFTTT recipe to trigger his Philips Hue lights when his alarm goes off.

I would love it if we could somehow label each alarm/timer and have Alexa speak it. I sometimes can't remember why I set a particular timer while cooking multiple items.
