Thanks for another useful tip.

I combined your tips to end up with:

- Prompt for date only with C-u
- Put a copy of all tasks on TaskPool
- Default to TaskPool in prompt

This has really streamlined the task input process and I like it.  One
thing that is kind of strange is that with this setup, when I create a
task and don't specify a page, it ends up on TaskPool twice.

Digging into planner-multi-create-task-from-info, I find the following
changes "works for me"

I'm not sure I understand why regexp-quote is being used there.  This
change may break something.

I think the reason this wasn't matching for me is that I have a copy
of all tasks going to [[TaskPool][T]] which doesn't match
[[TaskPool]].

Thoughts?
