Thanks to everyone for the varied and thoughtful responses. I didn't think
of backquotes, but I know about them from Scheme, and no, they shouldn't
work in this case.
Very frustrating. org-capture clearly has the original buffer handy (for %a
stuff) yet I can't get it out of there without hacking the org code, which I
am loathe to do. Hmmm. I'll think some more. If I come up with anything;
I'll report it.
Cheers.
