The problem is (I think), when you attach @ or ! to the state and, as you
cycle thru (S-right), new unintended notes will be added as you cycle to
the state you're looking for.  True?

Can you repeat a keyword in org-todo-keywords? Perhaps there should be a
sparse table defining, for a current state, what are the potential next
states?  Org-Edna...?
