[O] Useful Org Agenda Function: Add "Today" to event

[Tory S. Anderson]

My regular org workflow often sees me having unfinished tasks 
during a day (be it an email request, a phone call, a 
long-standing one-off, etc). In these cases I find it useful to 
add a timestamp for "today" to the item so that I still have 
original scheduling/deadline information, but it shows up on 
today's daily view. This is especially handy since timestamp 
entries can be stacked without interfering with each other, so I 
can keep a record of all past instances as well. I have this 
working fine for me via a keyboard macro to be used in agenda 
mode, which goes to the org file of the event, moves to the 
heading, moves down a couple lines, and inserts the deadline, and 
returns. Certainly a non-macro way would be fine here, but this 
was the easiest and fastest for me and meets my 
needs. Improvements are welcome! Otherwise, hopefully this 
function is useful. (Please let me know if some other function 
already does this)
