The idea behind having something in the repeat date string was that
there would be something onto which to hang a link.  But, in deference
to parsimony in matters of ink, I have tried to make optional what
goes into a repeat date cell.  If it consists only of whitespace, no
link is created; I suppose a link could have just whitespace as its
description, perhaps that should be an option too?  But then one might
start to suffer from option anxiety.

Good point.  I have made nil the default, and added a featurep test.
