I don't know how to change this code to not use flet, so I live with the
warning.

- if you evaluate ( M-: ) "(org-capture nil "t")", does it start
  a capture?
- if yes, can you get rid of the flet and just have (org-capture nil
  "t") instead (it should create a frame a split the window in two with
  a capture buffer)
- if it still works like this, then the problem is in the flet, and
  I don't know what to do.
