Hmm, actually the idea is quite nice after thinking about it more and
more. But would you bind an extra key to each of these templates or
would you get a selection window like if you have multiple reminder
files and press 'e'?

Especially if we get templates, it would be very helpful to not just
write the created reminder line to ~/.reminders, but also echo it on the
last line of the window to quickly see if something went wrong.
