Ok, great.

While the idea has some charm, you would loose the speed advantages from
using a hash table for lookup, right?  Or would Org build and use one
internally?

Anyway, I think personally I would not want to have a second place for
anniversaries - unless it would then be beneficial to use only that file
in the future.

All of that sounded good, thanks for your time.
