Suggestion: provide a new diary-sexp function, similar to
`diary-lunar-phases'.  Then marking would be handled by the diary.

That function just has to return nil or a string (or a mark and a
string) depending on the dynamical variable DATE.  That's already the
whole diary related part.  People then have to add that function as sexp
entry to their diary if they want.


Michael.
