Personally, I always spell it 'todo' and then a simple grep works pretty well... I suppose I sometimes find a bunch of stuff with 'todo' in a variable name, but not real often, so far... I also tend to keep a "todo.txt" file open and add to that instead of strewing things through my code... The only "todo" items in code are super super minor and so specific to that bit of code that I can't come up with a context-free way to express it in a sentence or less... Certainly any big-ticket items in a ToDo list deserve to be in an actual list rather than buried in source somewhere, no?
