Add `pct:` custom tag (or something similar) to keep track of progress #490

Did you check if a similar feature request has already been reported?

Checked, not reported.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I think that it would be great to have the option to use a custom tag (e.g. pct:) to keep track of progress on tasks on which activity had to be interrupted. I do not know if other todo.txt task managers have something similar or if they have agreed on the tag name. In case, it would be great to take inspiration from them.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support a custom tag (e.g., pct:) to keep track of progress on a task on which activity had to be interrupted. In the example pct: would stand for percentage.

When a task has the filed, sleek should show a completion indicator (either merely reporting the percentage or showing a progress bar).

On completion, the field should be removed.

While waiting for an opinion from the developer, I share my working method, maybe it can be an inspiration for you.

I created some specific contexts that identify the status of the task. In my case it is not important to keep track of the real completion percentage. Example: task started, to be reviewed or in waiting status ( @status_going, @status_review, @status_waiting ).

I realize this isn't exactly what you want to do but it might be a temporary work around.

@mimmori your solution is actually rather similar to what I have been using. When I have many contexts, it is not so immediately visible, though...

Sorry for my late reply. I'm currently rewriting large chunks of sleeks, to make it more maintainable. While doing so, this should be a low hanging fruit. I'll add it to the backlog. It will take time though, as there is plenty of technical depth to take care of first.
