Could really use routines. And some tweaks to recursian

[flareriderdash]

The ability to create routines that hold other smaller events in them would be a great addition to Calcurse. I have an alternating schedule that follows a pattern of one and the other (e.g. A B A B C NULL NULL) and even though this is possible to create such patterns without routines it is very labor intensive to actually achieve this. I could just copy and paste every event to the days needed during the week and then set recursion for every week on every single one of the events. This would be feasible, but again, very slow and even inflexible to new start times as each event is time specific where a routine could be independent from this. The routine would serve like an event holding other events and those events inside this routine would be relative to the start time of the routine (whatever the user may choose that to be) allowing flexibility and plug and playness to reoccurring sets of events. This would make a set of events' recursion nicer, as not all of the contained events need recursion flags (saving time and making everything neat).

Now referring back to my interesting recursion of my schedule as the pattern shown above (A B A B C NULL NULL) It would be easier to think about and also make sense to add an additional option to the weekly recursive setting to not only ask the interval of weeks between events (or routines) but also on what days of the week the user wants it.

e.g. User wants his bi-weekly cake party to be on Mondays and Thursdays.

The above example is not possible with the current way of recursion as how it is calculated now is based off an offset from the current week that only corresponding to the day that the event was created on(i.e. The event created on Tuesday can only be made to be recursive on Tuesdays of every week). Instead you would have to create a copy of the event(or routine) on other desired days; and this seems just unnecessary to do since If you have many events it can become unnecessarily taxing on the user to create it. Other similar ideas can be applied to the other recursion options, but as it pertains to me (I've only used weekly and daily recursion ) weekly should have this.

Also do note that my schedule (A B A B C NULL NULL) represents my routines for each day. Starting on a monday and ending on a sunday.

If I'm correct, you're requesting something like the following recursion configuration (please request features more briefly). This looks like a part of #129. But currently there's no plan to support such complex recursion feature (because I don't need something like this).
