Remind now has a built-in ampm() function that does what _am_pm
used to do and more.  For example:

    REM MSG [ampm(6:15)] [ampm(18:13)] [ampm(0:12)]

produces:

    6:15AM 6:13PM 12:12AM

It doesn't add a leading zero if the hour is only one digit, however.

You can get an old version of defs.rem from git.  But defs.rem was
never meant to be used as-is in a life file; it is just a grab-bag of
example.  I guess I should make that clear in a comment at the top of
the file.
