Yeah, it does conflict.  Try this?  I suppose this function could be
rewritten to accommodate your method, but the planner-diary gurus
should probably do it.  Note you will have to M-x
planner-diary-insert-diary as well.  Or go ahead and change
planner-diary-insert-diary-maybe as well.

Another route, may be to write a rino-plan function that copies your
all-in-one file to the next day.  Then you'd have a running log...

Cheers,  Jody
