Great, thanks!

I will post rebased patches later today, although I think the overall
design of the patch on the planner side of things is not quite there yet.
Of course, your and others' feedback is greatly welcome.

Also, I must inform to all of those who're looking at this thread that I
won't be able to respond to emails from tomorrow (9/16, Sat) until 9/23,
Sat, due to some personal business.

Thanks,
Amit
