agenda tags-todo (was Re: [PATCH] Make `org-tags-view' stop setting globally `org--matcher-tags-todo-only')

[Christian Lynbech <christian@defun.dk>]

I assume the change is this one:

        commit 942b6267a09e167ad3a546e83205601aa5c0704e
        Author: Nicolas Goaziou <mail@nicolasgoaziou.fr>

            org-agenda: `tags-todo' command type includes DONE keywords

I was rather fond of the old behaviour, which I used in the following
simple custom agenda:

        ("p" "Agenda and prioritized tasks"
         ((agenda "")
          (tags-todo "p")))

and which I include as part of my emacs start up.

Is there a way in the new system to make a custom agenda that will only
include todos in not-done states, without having to add those states
explicitly to the tags-todo search command?

Thank you. I eventually fixed it slightly differently.
