That looks good.  The @s in the forthcoming appointments section would
get highlighted as planner-appt's highlighting currently stands, so
perhaps they should be @-less for now?

Since looking at this I have realised that the code I added to put
task appointments in the schedule does lots of unnecessarily
complicated book-keeping to avoid duplicating appointments; I am
thinking about re-writing it using text properties: much simpler,
don't know why I didn't think of it before, etc., etc.,
