I am wondering if there is a built-in way to do the following with
`org-mode'. If not, then I am interested in usage approaches, and maybe even
considering this as a feature request.
For my own check lists, I prefer that each check box have the following
appearance:
** TODO items to purchase for project
- [ ] an item in the list, incomplete
- [X] an item in the list, complete
- [N] an item in the list that will never be performed
What do other people do when a check list item is no longer valid; or you
changed your mind? Archive it? Deleting a valid item, after choosing to skip
it, seems a fallacious approach to organization; so the goal is a simple way to
mark the item as skipped.
For some reason, I have always thought of a check list item as being congruent
to a 3-value enumerated type.

I manually mark it [*] or [_]. I haven't really settled on a pattern
or semantics. Before org-mode and hnb before that, I think I used
_ - not started
v - in progress
x - done
s - skipped or scratched
