Just installed this, and already finding it super useful.

Any chance this system can be made a bit more compatible with: https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-cli/wiki/The-Todo.txt-Format?

I think the only real deal-breaker is this:
`If a task starts with an x (case-sensitive lowercase) followed directly by a space, it is complete. Period.`
Your system seems to use a single asterix with no space.

Nice to have's might include:

* auto date inclusion for start and completion (which I see you have listed in future releases)
* converting addon type stuff such as line number and function name to the `key:value` format specified (not super necessary)
* auto inclusion of project name based on some regex option (useful if you have some folder structure like /a/b/c/projectname/src_stuff)

I am a bit new to both systems so there may be other ways to achieve these.
I am also happy to help implement any of these if you're happy for me to do so.
