Or maybe I jumped the gun a bit here. It works for the first level of
hierarchy similar to the way lists work. The level 1 task only counts
level 2 items. You can have separate cookies on the level 2 tasks which
count the level 3 subtasks etc.
There is no way to count all of the items in the subtree AFAIK.
i.e. This is not currently possible
* PROJECT Test [0/10] <-- this cookie would say [0/6] not [0/10]
** TODO Step 1 (1)
** TODO Step 2 (2)
** TODO Step 3 (3)
** TODO Step 4 (4)
*** TODO Step 5 (4.1)
*** TODO Step 6 (4.2)
*** TODO Step 7 (4.3)
** TODO Step 8 (5)
** TODO Step 9 (6)
*** TODO Step 10 (6.1)
