I agree with that. I don't think we need additional indication of 
completed todos.

One thing which would be nice, but still is missing is a filter to hide 
todos which were completed more than a settable time ago.

I think it would be better to avoid to have too many configuration 
options. That makes code more complex and harder to maintain (leading 
to more bugs) and might confuse users.
