Subject: [PATCH] lisp/org-colview.el: Add defcustom
 `org-columns-checkbox-allowed-values'

* lisp/org-colview.el Add defcustom `org-columns-checkbox-allowed-values'.
(org-columns-next-allowed-value): Introduce variable `org-columns-checkbox-allowed-values'.

This would allow to use more than two states ("[ ]", "[X]") in
columns with SUMMARY-TYPE that use checkbox ("X", "X/", "X%").
For example you can add an intermediate state ("[-]").
Or empty state ("") to remove checkbox.

* etc/ORG-NEWS New option ~org-columns-checkbox-states~
