1. One could argue that there seldom is necessary to have more than one uncompleted todo with the same description, project and context. If so we can skip the creation date which makes the line shorter. It is however possible to have info on more than one line. 2. If description together with project and context is unique we should be able to retrieve the correct todo. 3. OTOH. Currently it is not difficult to create many todos with the same description, project and context, and thus make it impossible to distinguish without creation date.
