### Main idea:

This is an alternative to inserting numeric ranges with macros (i.e. `F3 F3`).

The advantages are:

1. Brevity: consider `F3 F3 SPC M-1 M-0 F4` vs. `m10 C-;`.

2. Much better undo context: a single `C-_` will undo the whole thing

   and allow you to edit the code. With macros you'd have to undo multiple

   times and restart from scratch, instead of tweaking what you just invoked.

3. The ability to insert the same number several times in a single iteration,

   and transform it with `format`-style expressions

   e.g. `m6\n15%s=0%o=0x%x` will expand to

        6=06=0x6

        7=07=0x7

        8=010=0x8

        9=011=0x9

        10=012=0xa

        11=013=0xb

        12=014=0xc

        13=015=0xd

        14=016=0xe

        15=017=0xf

4. Last but not least, the ability to transform the number with lisp expressions.

   For instance:

    1. `m5 10*xx` -> `25 36 49 64 81 100`

    2. `m5 10*xx|0x%x` -> `0x19 0x24 0x31 0x40 0x51 0x64`

    3. `m10+x?a%c` -> `a b c d e f g h i j k`

    4. `m10+x?A%c` -> `A B C D E F G H I J K`

    5. `m97,105stringx` -> `a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i`

    6. `m97,102stringxupcasex` -> `aA,bB,cC,dD,eE,fF`

    7. `m,3|%(+ x x) and %(* x x) and %s` -> `0 and 0 and 0,2 and 1 and 1,4 and 4 and 2,6 and 9 and 3,8 and 16 and 4,10 and 25 and 5`

You can even schedule and deadline:

    m\n8|**** TODO Learning from Data Week %(+ x 2) \nSCHEDULED: <%(date "Oct 7" (* x 7))> DEADLINE: <%(date "Oct 14" (* x 7))>

    **** TODO Learning from Data Week 2

    SCHEDULED: <2013-10-07 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-14 Mon>

    **** TODO Learning from Data Week 3

    SCHEDULED: <2013-10-14 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-21 Mon>

    **** TODO Learning from Data Week 4

    SCHEDULED: <2013-10-21 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-28 Mon>

    **** TODO Learning from Data Week 10

Here's how to schedule a task that repeats Monday through Friday at 10:00, every week:

    m0\n4|** TODO Something work-related\nSCHEDULED: <%(date "mon" x) 10:00 +1w>

    ** TODO Something work-related

    SCHEDULED: <2013-11-04 Mon 10:00 +1w>

    ** TODO Something work-related

    SCHEDULED: <2013-11-05 Tue 10:00 +1w>

    ** TODO Something work-related

    SCHEDULED: <2013-11-06 Wed 10:00 +1w>

    ** TODO Something work-related

    SCHEDULED: <2013-11-07 Thu 10:00 +1w>

    ** TODO Something work-related

    SCHEDULED: <2013-11-08 Fri 10:00 +1w>
