+- **The verb `remind`.** It tells the owner once about what starts soon: it prints it, or runs the owner's own
+  program for it. gcal's `events remind` uses it, for a scheduler (cron, a systemd timer) to run every few minutes, as
+  gcalcli's `remind` is run. Before, no verb said "tell me once": `watch` keeps a process running, and `send` writes
+  to a chat.
