The manual refers to them as "cookies": searching the index for either "statistics" or "cookie" takes you to section 5.6 where they are described. But you should feel free to add the appropriate words: Worg (as you know) is editable, and if you found it confusing, somebody else will too (nudge, nudge). But I beat you to it in this case: thanks for the suggestion and also for noticing the extra paren as well. OTOH, if you don't like my verbiage, feel free to change it! BTW, I don't agree that this should be default behavior (as Angel, I believe, suggested): whether an item is done may be a matter of checking boxes in some cases, but not always - for myself, I would like to maintain the ultimate authority of declaring something done and not to relegate it to mere code (is that provocative enough? :-) ) In addition, the function slows things down (every time you check a box, the function runs), it makes a few assumptions about the environment (todo states, statistics cookies), and I certainly would not trust it to DTRT all the time: it would need hardening.
