I found an interesting alternative to the "=project" syntax in Glista, a 
GTK+ todo list manager [1]. This application uses "project:" to 
categorize tasks. This way the t_add becomes:

	t_add myProject: @aKeyword the title of the task @anotherKeyword

This looks more natural to me. The rule would be "if the first word ends 
with a ':', it is a project name". This rule would apply to t_add, 
t_edit and t_list as well. What do you think about this?
