sifted for agenda-view, sparse-tree underlying commands

[Brady Trainor <algebrat@uw.edu>]

goal: to make better use of agenda-views and sparse-trees

strategy: to better understand what customization would be possible, 
should I need to consider them at some point (or even to be able to 
think about what commands they each are based on)

difficulty: planning out exactly how I'll use them

strategy: to have made the notes I made today, and keep them for 
reference as I slowly increase my use of these functionalities

action: send a copy of my notes from today to the gmane list, to feel a 
sense of accomplishment, pick a point at which to put this on the 
backburner, and put something up that I think I would have found useful 
as I was developing my use of these.

funny observation: would have been a while before I noticed what happens 
if you hit `C-c / c c c c c c c c c ...'

complement me: please feel free to find a way to parse this perspective 
into the worg or similar, or reinterpret for us.

(oops if someone already did this)
