As of TodoTxJs 1.6.0, URL's can be automatically shortened, which I find very useful. The thing is, TodoTxtJs leaves out of the shortened URL everything from a left parenthesis (in a left-to-right locale) to the end of the URL. In example, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(15)60127-1 becomes LINK(15)60127-1. Although the parentheses I am copying and pasting should have been percent-escaped by the web sites, parentheses are actually legal URL characters, according to RFC 3986 section 2. Would you please include parentheses in your URL regular expression?
