[Remind-Fans] Functions returning a full reminder?

[Dan Kelmenson]

I'm trying to write a function that would make birthdays and
anniversarys as simple as possible, but haven't been able to get it
working yet.

Here's what I've gotten so far:

FSET bdmsg(name)                name + "'s birthday " + d()
FSET bdmsgyear(name, year)      name + "'s "+_yr_num(year)+" birthday " + d()

REM sep 21 ++14 MSG [bdmsgyear("John", 1979)]
REM oct 4 ++14 MSG [bdmsgyear("Jane", 1995)]
REM jan 5 ++14 MSG [bdmsg("Bob")]

But I'd like some function so everything repeated is unnecessary.

birthday("John", "sep 21", 1979)
birthday("Jane", "oct 4", 1995)
birthday("Bob", "jan 5")  // if optional parameters exist...

I haven't figured out how to write such a "birthday()"
function. Anybody see how that can work?

Thanks,
Dan
