But bin/checklist checks explicitly for it:

   elsif (/^\s+[!-]\s+(\S+)\s+(.*?)\s*$/) { # Deal with ...

Somehow I doubt that this is a mere typo.  Of course, I can replace
all the "!"  entries with "-" if this syntax is just a minor variant.
For now, I just ignore the difference.

And it's also a bit strange that DSA/list and DTSA/list use different
date formats. 8-)
