Wow, cool to hear from the one & only Sacha!

Also, I found this GTD blog which appears to have something similar, under
the "Filtering Projects and Actions" section:
https://emacs.cafe/emacs/orgmode/gtd/2017/06/30/orgmode-gtd.html

However, this  mechanism seems to report only the first TODO action
which is tagged with "@office" and (I presume) assumes that any headline
tagged @office is a "project".

Also, after reviewing Bernt Hansen's org-mode setup, it appears that
he uses NEXT keyword to distinguish between tasks that need to be done
(TODO) and tasks that can be accomplished NEXT.  This may obviate
the need to show the first X items of any given project.

So many options  . . . . . .

Thanks,
--Nate
