Interesting idea :-)

Here is a modified my-howm-mode-set-buffer-name.  It supports two or
more sections in one file.

# I personally like one file for one day.
# (setq howm-file-name-format "%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d.howm")

For example, \"1234567...\" is returned if string is \"123456789012\"

When DOTS is non-nil, it is used instead of \"...\"."
