I just set the grade with "C- C-x p GRADE", too slow!  I would love to see
your function though I can doubtless at least write THAT myself. Yeas, then
having that same function change the todo state (to "READY" in my case -- I
change to "DONE when I email out the comments), would make a lot of sense.

Adding the grade as a tag doesn't seem quite right, as I often change
grades after a rewrite.  I'd need to get rid of the original tag.  Adding
to the headline might work, but I'd have to change some of my existing
functions which use the headline value as a proxy for the student name.
Could definitely be done.
