Subject: New variable request: org-archive-todo-only

Hi,
In my org file I have a mix of "actionable" items (TODO items) and
informative items (notes, references and etc). Normally I only archive
TODO items when they are done, and don't archive informative items
(since most of them have some long-term value). So, can we add a new
variable to "org-archive-todo-only" to control the behavior of following
functions:
1. org-archive-subtree
1) when org-archive-todo-only is nil, behave as it does now, with a
little bit modification:
- if the current heading is a TODO item and
org-archive-mark-done is nil, check whether it is in a "DONE" state. If
not, prompt for user confirmation.
2) when org-archive-todo-only is t, if the current heading is a
TODO item, behaves the same as 1). if the current heading is NOT a TODO
item, prompt for user confirmation.
2. org-archive-all-done
1) when org-archive-todo-only is nil, behaves as it does now
2) when org-archive-todo-only is t, only checks the headings that
are a TODO item.
Without the change to those functions, I have to be very careful not
archiving something I don't want to.
I put in an advice by myself to change the org-archive-subtree behavior
as above, but I can not do it with function org-archive-all-done. And I
also think this may be an improvement that makes sense for many people,
hence the proposal/request.
Thanks a lot for comments and consideration of the above.
