I guess the world is split in two categories, those how come back to fix 
the TODO, and those how don't. I for myself belong to the second, that 
is why I never write TODO comments, I either do the stuff or consider 
this is not important enough to waste time on it. In other words I 
mostly agree with Martin, and envy people belonging to the first category.
