Skip completed tasks from listing?

[severoraz]

This seems like a good idea to me, but is it? I have applied it on my clone, so I leave a patch here in case anyone wants to try it out. Its trivial though.

Nice idea - perhaps this could be added as an optional flag? I'm not routinely using this format at the moment so not sure if this would be desirable.

[severoraz]

Yeah I think an optional flag would be a good idea! I made a proposed solution, please ignore the first commit!

[severoraz]

Also, feel free to change the name of the flag, or whatever.
