Yes, that's in fact what the original todo-mode.el does, but I never
really liked it and dropped from my version it long ago, though it is a
convenient way to get that effect. But it also counteracts Stefan's
"design goal" of being able to use standard Emacs commands on Todo
files. Although I didn't follow this goal while reimplementing
todo-mode.el, I now think it's justified: Todo mode has its own entry
points and editing commands and there's no real need to give it a
stranglehold on Todo files. It's conceptually similar to Gnus: you can
visit and edit a mail file as a normal text file, but in Gnus it's in a
special mode with special commands. And the risk assessment is the
same: you can corrupt a mail file outside of Gnus if you're not careful.
