Other examples:

   - 12 months worth of statements to process - you might break down into 
   12 separate recurrent tasks (no due date)

Alternate complete - have considered this. But there are at least 3 
disadvantages:

   - New task is generated immediately after completion of old one - would 
   be great to have it generate (or start) a set period AFTER - e.g. one week 
   later (but NO due-date)
   - No way of tracking number of recurrences (so you know when a task is 
   complete, where this is not self-evident)
   - Can't use on MLO for Android, afaik
