[Remind-Fans] date substitution

[Tarlika Elisabeth Schmitz]

I normally use %u (on weekday, day-th month, year) for date substituion.
However, I often have reminders for things to be done BY a specific
date rather than ON.

I know I can cobble this together myself: 
by %w %d%s %m %y

I also created a variable for convenience:
SET by "by %w %d%s %m %y"
MSG %"make dental appointment %" [by] %

1) how can I achieve that the date is replaced by "today"/"tomorrow" on
the trigger day and the day before respectively?

2) would it be possible to create another substitution filter for this?


As an aside: After the trigger day (if using *1), %u displays "today".
I would find it more useful if it showed the date, and maybe even
yesterday on the day after.
