+The function can use a unique identifier stored with each event to ensure
+that updates to existing events are treated correctly.  The entry
+should contain the word tt(UID), followed by whitespace, followed by
+a word consisting entirely of hexadecimal digits of arbitrary length
+(all digits are significant, including leading zeroes).  As the UID
+is not directly useful to the user, it is convenient to hide it on
+an indented continuation line starting with a tt(#), for example:
