Hmm, I'd say so. That'd be a query for Sacha when she's got time for it
though, I think. So essentially, what this would do is, check whether you
were trying to create a task from a plan or day page, check the
planner-create-task-at-point variable, if it's true, just create the
task wherever point is. Hmm. Sounds reasonable to me.
