Create //todo-lists
In the beginning there existed only a generic //org directory... This directory
was generic enough to include any .org file regardless of its purpose, but
specific enough to disallow membership of other worthy files of the Markdown
ilk.

Then came the //playbooks directory, which robbed //org of most of its
inhabitants...

In the interim various .md and .org TODO lists existed scattered across the
landscape of the monorepo... some existed in far-away, exotic lands like
"travel-histlist"... These fractious tribes shared much in common with their
distant relatives, but the superficial differences granted the simple-minded,
draconian filesystem license to prevent them from mingling.

Then one day the monorepo had a new visitor: //todo-lists.
//todo-lists restored order to the monorepo, uniting all of the fractious
documents under one roof.

.md and .org files held hands and sang Kumbaya around a blazing fire for the
first time in history. All was well, and all were happy.
