So I've started playing with having different .reminders files, primarily,
work stuff and home stuff.  I don't need my change-the-passwords-today
listed on my home calendar, and I don't need my dance lessons on my work
calendar.  However, sometimes, they coincide, like my upcoming vacation.

So I have

omit 1 jul 2015 through 7 jul 2015 msg las vegas
REM 1 jul 2015 through 7 jul 2015 SPECIAL SHADE 150

in my "personal" .reminders file, and

SET n $NumTrig
[...]
omit 1 jul 2015 through 7 jul 2015 msg las vegas
[...]
IF $NumTrig > n
   REM SPECIAL SHADE 150
ENDIF

in my "work" .reminders file.  So my "default" .reminders includes
both home-stuff and work-stuff, and lists my vacation twice.

Is there something I can add to let remind know that "these are the
same event, so don't let it trigger twice" ?

I suspect the correct answer is "I need separate files for home stuff,
work stuff, and everything-stuff" but that's a route I'd rather not follow.
It's handy, for example, to have my vacations trigger "omit" clauses
in my work events.

Thanks.
