There is a lot of precedent. In this behaviour, the insinuate functions
auto save the other planner files dont they?

If I "add something" to a database through any half decent front end , I
dont expect to "commit" manually.

I really see no reason not to save. If one has a LONG emacs session (and
emacs tends to be open 24/7 I reckon for most users) then its not right
to expect the user to remember 8 hours later that they entered a diary
entry and therefore should commit the file.

Obviously my 2c worth, but IMO its silly not to save. The diary file is
easily corrected if there is a task saved.
