It would be nice if you could create a to-do item that repeats a certain interval after its last completion. Silly example: water the plants, 4 days after last completion.

Pardon me if I'm just confused but I think this is a special case that is not a duplicate of the repeating task support that currently exists.

Suppose you have a task that's set to repeat every three days. It is due Monday, you mark it done on Tuesday.

Under the standard behavior, it would be re-scheduled for Thursday.

Under the special "periodic task" case, it would be re-scheduled for Friday. Likewise, if it was completed earlier, say Sunday, it would be rescheduled earlier, Wednesday.
