What is a calendar?
With the power of pagelist we could create a list of entries ordered
by page text variable Date:  or Birthday: from Contacts pages.
Now the challenge is to format the pagelist output so the resulting
list or table looks like a calendar. For a start perhaps a listing
by one day per line. How can empty day lines be created with this new
calendarlist fmt for pagelist?

How can a pagelist deliver a range of pages? I think Pm wants to add
this, but meanwhile we can use extended conditional testing of
numbers.

I think to get pagelist to output a calenderlist format would be a
good step forward.
