Hi Adam, Daniel, and others,

the mapping API is in place and already quite general.
It supports different scopes like the current tree, or the file,
or all agenda files, or even all agenda files with associated
archives.  You can specify a tags/property/todo match to
restrict the mapping to selected entries.  And you can use the full
org-agenda-skip mechanism (but you might want to do these checks in
the mapping function, of course).

Adam, as you suspected, this is only a small bit of code, for the
rest it re-uses the agenda stuff.

Documentation is in Appendix B6 of the manual.

I am very curious to see what kind of tricks you will do with this,
to keep us posted!

- Carsten
