Rather than validating against a regular expression, any argument not directly matched by the set of cases is passed to the `date` command and attempted to be evaluated as a date. If `date` fails to parse the argument, it is assumed to be an unrecognised option. This change also makes adding new options to the case set easier, so I added shortcut versions of the project and context view modes: + and @ respectively. This change was actually the reason I made the other changes, supporting more sorts of dates being just a nice side-effect. These shortcuts are provided for the same reason `view` is aliased as `v`: to save typing. $ todo.sh view project $ t v + # compare and contrast ;)
