And here is how to do this:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
    (modify-syntax-entry ?- "w" org-mode-syntax-table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?> "w" org-mode-syntax-table)))

Give it a try and report your experiences!  Might actually work well.

Unfortunately, Org relies on the fact that a TODO keyword ends at a word end that can be matched with the regular expression "\\>".  So you would have to make ">" and "-" into word
characters.  That can be done, but I fear it might break something else.  Worth a try, though.

Hi!

Can I use non-alphabet ascii as todo keywords? Like this: 

,----
| (setq org-todo-keywords
|       '((sequence "-" ">" "o" "x")))
`----

where each stands for: todo, doing, done, cancelled.  They seem much
easier to recognize than TODO, DOING, DONE, CANCELLED, etc.
