deleting a TODO item also deletes the line following

[damiencourousse]

Let's consider the test file below. Deleting issue 2 also deletes the comment line -- another comment 2.

-- file: test.hs

-- another comment 0
-- TODO (assig|#test) - issue 1
-- another comment 1
-- TODO (assig|#test) - issue 2
-- another comment 2
-- TODO (assig|#test) - issue 3
-- another comment 3

The issue does not appear with this test file, where issue 2 is not followed by a comment line.

-- another comment 0
-- TODO (assig|#test) - issue 1
-- another comment 1
-- TODO (assig|#test) - issue 2

-- TODO (assig|#test) - issue 3
-- another comment 3

Ah so this was actually the intended behavior - I figured that for a TODO could have multiple lines as part of the body. So toodles interprets a TODO body as continuing all the way until the contiguous comment lines end, or another TODO is seen.

Would you prefer TODO's for a single line comment only be that line? I'm open to changing the behavior, especially if any other people reading agree.

OK I see your point.

Yes, I would vote for this one. At least in languages supporting single-line comments and multiple lines comments, I would expect TODOs as a single line in a single-line comment, and as the full block in comment blocks.

If this does change, it would be wonderful if it could be an option. In Rust for example It's common to see multi-line comments using single line // for each line, and personally I'm relying on multi-line TODO notes as well. So I'd vote for current behaviour.
