The todo.txt format is [standardized](https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt#todotxt-format-rules), and there are many different clients (that would ideally all support this format extension). That makes it really difficult to add this feature. As a...

@karbassi Welcome back; it's good to hear from you again. I don't see any problems, but would suggest that we work on the backlog of PRs first. Especially my #405...

@karbassi The Mac tests have been failing for a very long time. I'm not sure I remember this correctly, but there was an update to a newer MacOS version, and...
