inline tasks are arguably a limited implementation of the other model
and have had issues where they didn't work well with one feature or
another of org, so much so that i got into the habit of not using
them.  thus, modulo parsers, inline tasks might be used as a very
rough lower bound of the havoc a full implementation might wreak,
including on 3rd party tools and user code?  dunno.  just an idea.
