[which is:
    ;; FIXME why not using diary-list-entries with
    ;; non-nil LIST-ONLY?

I patched my appt-check as per the FIXME and AFAICT it DTRT, at least
when using the default fancy display: the diary is not displayed on
saving an included file, yet `C-u M-x appt-check' does show new
appointments from the included file.  With simple display, the new
appointments are not displayed, but neither are they displayed with
(diary) as in the current code.  So there seems to (still) be a problem
for appt-check with simply display regardless of the FIXME.  But since
that works (AFAICT) with fancy display, I strongly favor committing the
fix.
