Lie to Remind about the date, by giving it on the command line.  If you
want Remind to think that it's 13 Mar 2023, run this:

     remind some-file.rem 13 mar 2023

And the reason my hack works is that my comment function ignores its
argument and always returns the empty string, so:

     [comment("anything you like here.  Anything at all")]

simply disappears.
