It is, I think. I'll probably never actually use it. It was one of

I installed in a few days ago and I like it. I especially appreciate
that it will "increment" the names of months, e.g., "Jan" becomes
"Feb" when you hit Ctrl-a.

That makes a lot of sense.
I have a couple of abbreviations I use to insert dates in insert mode:
:iab <expr> dts strftime("%F %R") " e.g., 2020-01-16 20:50
:iab <expr> dtg strftime("%e %b %Y") " e.g., 16 Jan 2020
but I like the idea of using a keymap to insert the current ISO date.
I don't need the time when inserting a date in remind.
Perhaps I'll abbreviate "REM" to a template, inserting the current ISO
date and "MSG".
