Gary,
My apologies—as Heather and Brandon noticed, the "in" delimiter was
missing from the list of possible delimiters for "location", but
Brandon has added that in. One thing you've noticed, though, was that
the command says "view-tasks near list"... this is due to the fact
that, even though multiple delimiters ("near", "at", etc.) are defined
for that role, only one can be displayed in that display of missing
arguments, so the first one defined is used. In the case of
"location", I believe it is currently "near"... letting commands
choose a custom delimiter label (preposition) to display from one of
the options for that role is a good idea which we could implement in
the future.
As for the "localizing commands" and "making commands localizable"
links, the links were simply wrong, but they are written:
