/ t sort of works, but it's a pain because I'd like to move all
articles from say 1999 into their own group, presuming I've already
moved everything before 1999, I either have to run the command at
exactly midnight on the day I do the / t, or I'll have overlap.  It
would be nice to have something like / t that has a fixed rounding
either up or down to the nearest day.

I can still use / t, but I have to use it to get close, and then do
the rest by hand, which is unfortunate.

Maybe I'll look at how / t works and try to come up with something
myself.

Thanks
