[Ml-yokadi] RFC: Project syntax

Hi list,

I have been demonstrating Yokadi quite a lot these days since I am
attending conferences for two weeks, and one thing which strikes me is
that the "<projectname>:" is a bit error prone, especially when using
sub-projects. Here is an example:

Say I have one project which contains two subprojects. Something like this:

- foo
- foo_stable
- foo_crazy_feature

When I type "t_add f<tab>", I get "t_add foo". Assuming I want to add a
task to the "foo" project, I often find myself carrying on with entering
the task text, forgetting to add the ':' character.

As a result, I end up adding a task titled "foo Implement this tricky
stuff" to the "default" project instead of adding "Implement this tricky
stuff" to the "foo" project.

Does it happen to you as well? An easy way to fix this would be to use
":" as a prefix instead of a suffix (pretty much what Sebastien
suggested initially...). What do you think about this?

Aurélien
