I don't agree; I don't think it's piled ... in the regular case, I have maybe
one reminder and two to-create SXes ... so three things to see.  I guess it
could be 2 pages with 1 or 2 things each, but it seems like one "unit" of
interaction is better than two, here.  I'm not so sure about the need to
separate the reminders out from the others ...

That's a good point ... they don't really deserve a line-item at all.  I've
noted this in <src/doc/sx.rst>.

No, I don't.

Another really good idea, noted.
