Specifically, I'd like to see an open paren, brace or bracket, at the start of a line, followed by a space, a "/", or a "X", followed by a matching closing paren, brace, or bracket, followed by a space and more text recognized as a "todo" list item where the space means it's an open item (not started), where the "/" means "in progress", where the "X" means closed or completed.
