MLO 5 Feature Request: Implement date parsing across the board in MLO

[Joel]

I know that date parsing is available when adding tasks using Rapid Task Entry and when using the "Add to Inbox" button in the Android app (can't speak for iOS app) but I would like to see this available as standard for all tasks, if possible. I know MLO works with both start and due dates so it may not be but having seen this in a couple web apps that have implemented it, I wish MLO could somehow make use of it since so many people love it because it makes working with tasks so flexible. This would be "in task date parsing" (for lack of a better description) that would parse out the dates in your text as you're typing the text. Not sure if this is possible but, if anything, perhaps for future versions.

Certainly the GTD way requires rapid entry to the Inbox, and date parsing would help throw a due date in there although I point out that in GTD you just rapidly enter short tasks and there is another stage where I review each task and decide whether there are dates involved with it.

Two things need to be fastest in portable devices:

Rapid task entry to Inbox
