Agreed it's better if you have a lot of them, and less useful if
it's only one or two.  For $DAYJOB I have a bunch of such things
so I have custom functions for `zoom()`, `phone()`, `teams()`, and
`url()` helper functions and I've got about two dozen of them in
my work.rem file (and a few more references scattered in other
reminder files).  I also do other tricks with them, colorizing
various bits differently (username/password in a brighter color to
make it stand out; bits like the time and dividing slashes in a
quieter color; handling $CalMode differently than agenda-view,
etc)), so it's nice to have it in one place.
