Yes, in your opinion of course it's clear; you wrote the code.  In my
opinion, as someone who uses remind and didn't write it, it was not clear.

I wish that I could find an explanation of the error message in the man
page; that would have avoided me having to ask a question about it.

(Aside: I wish that compilers rejected code any time a programmer writes
"too many foo" error messages instead of writing "more than %d foo".)

In any case, it's a minor point and I still love remind.
