I was thinking about adding another switch to t_list, but this means 
yet-another-option... not sure it's a good idea after thinking a bit 
more about it.
One solution is to catch the habit of reviewing your task lists on a 
regular basis, after all that's what GTD gurus suggest, but it's not 
something Yokadi can help you achieve :) (except with recurrent tasks 
maybe?)
