Suddenly, epiphany!

	What it is that I really want, is nearly all there already. I realized 
this late last night as I was checking off a few sub-items in a 
particularly large task. All I want to do is when I mark an item 
checked that is a subject of a topic, I want to somehow represent that 
as a value in the parent item. All I'd need to do is take ( 100 / 
parent.(total)sub-tasks ) * ( parent.sub-tasks( marked complete ) ). 
This could be a numeric shown to the left of a checkbox of an item 
which has children. I'm not even sure that right now, I'd need for 
middle-tier values to go all the way up, since most of my stuff is 3 
levels deep max.
	I think that this would be just as helpful as having a custom column, 
but much more useful than a tri-state checkbox.
