Great!  For the record, Łukasz Stelmach
(lukasz.stelmach@iem.pw.edu.pl) inspired this patch -- he had an
earlier patch that did something similar, although I didn't use any of
his code.

A couple thoughts, though:

s/applie/applies

org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled = all isn't documented.  Maybe the
test could be:

"all or t        Don't show any scheduled entries in the global todo
list." (with the appropriate number of spaces)
