This diary thing cropped up because I want to use Org-Capture
to Select a date for "Scheduled: %^t\n".
("Tc" "Project Gunga Din" entry
(file+headline "~/02agenda/rapid-capture.org" "Project")
"* Gunga Din\n
** %^{Value |Augment|Include|Clarify|Organise}\n
Title: %?\n Brief:\n Detail:\n
# Traverse Calendar with S-<right>, S-<left>, S-<down>, S-<up>.
Scheduled: %^t\n Entered: %T\n Link: %a\n")
