Would there be any consideration for an inline syntax that looks more
like a link? Personally, when I want inline TODOs, I want them because
there's a particular chunk of text that I need to do something with.
What about something that looks like:
In 2005 there were approximately [[TODO: Verify this; SCHEDULED:
<tomorrow>; :statistics:][4,500]] Confucius Institutes in operation
worldwide.
That's kind of made-up, but the one-line syntax seems like it would be
well suited to providing tags, priority, scheduling, etc., but none of
the more bulky attributes that are part of a proper headline.
WDYT?
Eric
