It's too bad I don't have time to implement this today, because I have the 
perfect application for it.

I have a bring list for my business trip to Canada. The list is categorized 
into clothes (shirts, pants, etc), paperwork (reservations, course paperwork, 
etc), etc.

Now, where do I carry them?

Clothes
	Suit @bigcase
	earmuffs @carryon
	underpants @smallcase

I could then produce lists of what goes in which suitcase -- a clear reduction 
of the risk of leaving something behind.

What we need now is a mechanism by which if you check off an item in one, it's 
checked in the other. This of course requires knowledge of which was the 
later modified (ughhhh!)

Good work!
