Installed. Imported my templates. Tested.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (setq org-capture-templates
          '(("t" "Task" entry
             (file+headline "~/Personal/refile.org" "Tasks")
             "* TODO %?\n  %U\n  %i"
             :empty-lines 1)
            ("a" "Appt" entry
             (file+headline "~/Personal/refile.org" "Appointments")
             "* %^{Appointment}%?\n  %^T\n %i\n"
            :empty-lines 1)
            ;; [...]
            ))

My comments:

- org-capture should be the new name, to avoid any future confusion between
  old and new system. You know how much old information Google can find.
  Making an easy way to distinguish between new and obsolete is better, IMHO.

- new properties like `empty-lines' works as advertised. Thank you very much.

- the fact that the names of templates doesn't appear anymore in the echo area
  is MUCH better. Being a user of `idle-require', I sometimes have messages
  (like "Blah blah... loaded") appearing the echo area while the system is
  expecting some input from me. Before, the template names often disappeared
  after a couple of seconds. Now, I don't fear that anymore.

No other comments for the moment, except that it functions as I expect it
(nothing lost) and the import was a breeze...

Best regards,
  Seb
