For tasks that get done over the course of multiple sessions, it would be useful to have a task command that would mark the current task complete, and create a new copy of the task with the same text+import/urgent+time properties. Perhaps the command could be `!next` or `!tobecontinued` or just `!continue`, what do others think?
The salient differences between the duplicated task and the original:
1. Duplicated task will have a blank Start Date, if one had been present on the original completed task
2. Reset Task Score, if the original task had accumulated a Task Score prior to being completed
This task command could also be useful when I have a collaborative list with questions to me: I could mark the original question task complete (so I get my hit of endorphins from completing something), and create a copy of the task that I could then forward back to the original task creator with my answer to the question.

Nice idea. You could always extend the idea from just "continue" to something like "done for today" with common options to continue the (new) task in 1,3,5 days, 1 week, next working day etc. That way you ensure the task gets a date. Maybe wording such as "Pick this up again in..." may be more accurate?
I like this idea a lot!
