Sorry to bother you again, but how exactly do I use that? If the
contents of my diary file are:

&* * ============
%%(diary-day-of-year)
&* * ============ 
%%(diary-phases-of-moon)
&* * ============

after M-x diary I get exactly the same as if had not included the
&* * ============ lines, no new separators, no new blank lines.
