I should have said that I don't like having a new syntax like this.

My whole point could have been "let's say headlines with more than X
stars are inline tasks, with no contents and thus, no cycling."

If we have inline tasks like "! TODO Rewrite Org's table :Code:" then
of course, they will be easy to fontify, but hard to collect for the
agenda and so on.

As we all know here, the beauty of Org is that it mixes an outliner
with a TODO list manager: inline tasks are at the frontier... they try
to escape the outliner.  I suggest that they don't so that we don't
break Org's intimate design: they can just escape recycling by having
X stars and by not having contents.

Does that make sense to you?
