Actually, it seems to go one better: it has a module for making
long-term plans (using EmacsWiki as the database), enabling Emacs users
to plot the downfall of ciVIlization as we (or "they") know it. The
documentation for planner.el is ... interesting.

Mind you, according to the docs, emacs is scheduled to get
search-backward-in-time somewhere in the 22nd century - worth hanging in
for...
