Actually, I've realised I've gone about things the wrong way.  Instead
of making another "relative-date" option type, I think I should modify
the existing date option to provide the choice of either absolute
dates, relative dates, or both.  Grrrrr. . . but most of the code I
wrote was necessary anyway.  What do you think?

Secondly, the option-data field of the options data structure seems to
assume that is a list of vectors with certain fields containing
certain data, but I don't think it's documented anywhere.
Additionally, there is C code which directly manipulates this option
data structure.

Instead of that, do you think it might be a good idea to add some more
getters to the option data structure to extract the relevant
information from the option-data field?   This would have the
following benefits:

1)	  It would allow the option-data field to be structured more
flexibility.  
2)     It would ensure guile data structures are manipulated from
guile, not C, where it's considerably more work.
