Oh right, thanks! Silly me.

That would be very cool. I'd love to be able to do that too.
Unfortunately Hobix's entry index, which is what skel_entry has
immediate access to, only stores the path and the modification time of
each entry.

Two solutions that come to mind are a) explicitly load the prev and next
entries by calling load_and_validate_entry within skel_entry (probably a
bad idea, for a variety of reasons); or b) extend the index to include
the title field (probably tricky).

I'd like to see _why's thoughts on this too. There's at least one other
field I wouldn't mind seeing in the index.
