Ignore lines that begin with hash symbol `#` about todo.txt-cli HOT 1 OPEN

The todo.txt format is standardized, and there are many different clients (that would ideally all support this format extension). That makes it really difficult to add this feature.

As a hack, a custom pre_filter_command could be used to hide those lines, but that would be incomplete and the counts would still be off.

I'd therefore challenge your assumptions: If you use the CLI to manage tasks, the actual syntax is irrelevant; the tool ensures certain things (like position of priority and dates), and stuff like context and project position is flexible (it's just your personal preference to put them at the end). After a few days of use, there should be enough existing tasks that even when editing manually, there's enough existing context to infer the syntax.

With advanced use (and many add-ons), a one-line reminder won't be enough, anyway. My solution has been to write a simple cheat sheet as a custom add-on that I can call up with todo.sh cheat.
