format for setting priority

spoofy says:
is there a way to enter a priority as part of the task text? for example

the following would set the date:

wash car today

but I would like to set the date and priority of a task

wash car today 1

or something like that

Unfortunately, there's no way to add task properties as part of the task text.

However, what you can do is enter the name, press Enter, and then press '1'; the keyboard shortcut would work as soon as the task is entered.

Pardon what must seem repetitive, but when I see the same good ideas surfacing over and over, I am compelled to note the fact.

The idea of parsing the text in the data entry field, and in inbound emails, has been around since RTM was wet behind the ears, and I have watched the idea resurface over and over. Heck, much of this can already be done with RTM using the Firefox extension in Gmail.
