Recurrence based on completion date, rather than scheduled date

[jkenton]

I have a lot of routine, repeating tasks that I have created. Some of them are due on given days of the week. Others are due every x days. For example, I have a task that needs to be done every 3 days. Let's say today is Monday, and the task is due today. If I complete the task today, the next due date will arrive in three days (Thursday) as designed. However, if I don't complete the task on Monday, and do it instead on Tuesday or Wednesday (or even later), the next recurrence of that task continues to become the Thursday, instead of three days in the future.

When I used Todoist, I recall there was a special syntax for "recur from date of completion." So, it may require some coding gymnastics to work out. Who knows?

Thank you, @jkenton. This is already tracked in #53. I really want this 😄 It's a matter of time, which I don't have right now.

This has been released for some time. The magic phrase is to append when done to the recurrent rule.
