Support Journal objects

[aelmahmoudy]

icalendar library supportd Journal objects, it would be useful to add support for Journal objects in todoman.

How do you expect todoman to handle VJOURNAL entries?

They seem like different kind of files—I think a separate tool to operate on them might be best.

Similar to todo files, except that there isn't Due date nor Completed
fields.

Same file format, except that it is VJOURNAL instead of VTODO

stepping on this cause I also wanted to just quickly add a journal entry

following https://github.com/prometheusorg/reconcile/wiki/caldav#vjournal a VJOURNAL file is very similar to a VTODO, basically a DESCRIPTION: line storing text and VJOURNALS are ignored for free/busy things

So journal entries could show up in the list, perhaps shortened or just the summary, and with a different color. Then some option to show the full text in expanded form

... or go all the way make a journal tool with similar commands as todo has, like:

Usage: journal [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

...

Commands: 
  ...
  edit    Edit a journal entry.
  ...
  list    List journal entries (default). 
  ...
  new     Create a new task with SUMMARY.
  ...
  show    Show full text of a journal entry
