Show Pending in either Today's list of the Future list, but not both at the same time.

For example, allow commands like:

  # exclude issues from context "abc"
  pit list -C abc

  # exclude issues delegated to John Doe
  pit list -P "delgated-to:John Doe"

+# Personal Issue Tracker
+
+This is [Jonathan Bernard's](mailto:jonathan@jdbernard.com) personal issue
+tracker. In it's current form it is essentially a way to keep an curated list of
+TODO's, organizing them by workflow category (todo, todo-today, dormant, etc.)
+and context (Personal, Work, etc.).
+
+## Categories
+
+`pit` organizes issues into the following workflow categories:
+
+- `current` - actively in progress
+- `todo` - to be addressed in the future
+- `todo-today` - chosen to be addressed today
+- `pending` - blocked by some third party
+- `dormant` - long-term things I don't want to forget but don't need in front
+  of me every day.
+- `done`
+
+In my typical workflow the `todo` category serves as a collection point for
+things I want to keep track of. Then on a a daily basis I review issues in the
+`todo` category and move a selection to the `todo-today` category. I also try
+to keep the total number of issues in the `todo` below about a dozen. If there
+are more than a dozen things in my `todo` category I will identify the lowest
+priority items and move them to the `dormant` category.
+
+## Issue Properties
+
+`pit` allows arbitrary properties to be attached to issues in the form of
+key-value pairs. On the command line these can be provided via the `-p` or
+`--properties` parameter in the form
+`-p <prop1Name>:<prop1Value>;<prop2Name>:<prop2Value>[;...]`
+
+There are a couple of properties that pit will recognize automatically:
+
+- `context`: the context organization feature is implemented using issue
+  properties.
+- `created`: `pit` uses this property to timestamp an issue when it is created.
+- `completed`: `pit` uses this property to timestamp an issue when it is moved
+  to the `done` category.
+- `pending`: `pit` looks to this property to provide extra information about
+  issues in the `pending` category. Typically I use this to note who or what is
+  blocking the issue and why.
+
+Some other common properties I use are:
+
+- `resolution`: for short notes about why an issue was moved to `done`,
+  especially if it the action wasn't taken or if it is not completely clear
+  that this issue was completed.
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+`pit` allows configuration via command-line options and via a configuration
+file. There is some overlap between the two methods of configuring `pit`, but
+it is not a complete mapping.
+
+### Config File
+
+`pit` looks for a JSON configuration file in the following places (in order):
+
+1. From a file path passed on the command line via the `--config <cfgFile>` parameter,
+2. `./.pitrc`, in the current working directory,
+3. From a file path set in the `PITRC` environment variable.
+4. `$HOME/.pitrc`, in the user's home directory.
+
+
+#### Sample Config File
+
+This example illustrates all of the possible configuration options.
+
+```json
+{
+  "api": {
+    "apiKeys": [
+      "50cdcb660554e2d50fd88bd40b6579717bf00643f6ff57f108baf16c8c083f77",
+      "e4fc1aac49fc1f2f7f4ca6b1f04d41a4ccdd58e13bb53b41da97703d47267ceb",
+    ]
+  },
+  "cli": {
+    "defaultContext": "personal",
+    "verbose": false,
+    "termWidth": 120,
+    "triggerPtk": true
+  },
+  "contexts": {
+    "nla-music": "New Life Music",
+    "nla-youth-band": "New Life Youth Band",
+    "acn": "Accenture",
+    "hff": "Hope Family Fellowship"
+  },
+  "tasksDir": "/mnt/c/Users/Jonathan Bernard/synced/tasks"
+}
+```
+
+#### Explanation of configurable options.
+
+In general, options supplied on the CLI directly will override options supplied
+in the configuration file. All options are optional unless stated otherwise.
+
+* `api`: configuration options specific to the API service.
+
+  - `apiKeys`: a list of Bearer tokens accepted by the API for the purpose of
+    authenticating API requests.
+
+* `cli`: configuration options specific to the CLI.
+
+  - `defaultContext`: if present all invokations to the CLI will
+    be in this context. This is like adding a `--context <defaultContext>`
+    parameter to every CLI invocation. Any actual `--context` parameter will
+    override this value.
+
+  - `verbose`: Show issue details when listing issues (same as
+    `--verbose` flag).
+
+  - `termWidth`: Set the expected width of the terminal (for wrapping text).
+
+  - `triggerPtk`: If set to `true`, invoke the `ptk` command to start and stop
+    timers when issues move to the `current` and `done` categories
+    respectively.
+
+* `contexts`: `pit` allows issues to be organized into different contexts via
+  a `context` property on the issue. The CLI groups issues according to
+  context. When printing contexts the CLI will take the value from the issues'
+  `context` properties and capatalize it. In some cases you may wish to have a
+  different display value for a context. I like to use abbreviations for long
+  context names to reduce the need to type, `hff` for "Hope Family Fellowship",
+  for example. The `contexts` config option allows you to provide a map of
+  context values to context display names See the sample file below for an
+  example.
+
+  Note that this mapping does not have to have entries for all contexts, only
+  those you wish to provide with an alternate display form. For example, in the
+  configuration sample above the default context is `personal`, a value not
+  present in the `contexts` configuration. `personal` will be displayed as
+  "Personal"; it does not need an alternate display name.
+
+* `tasksDir` **required**: a file path to the root directory for the issue
+  repository (same as `--tasks-dir` CLI parameter).

+const ONLINE_HELP* = """Issue States:
+
+  PIT organizes issues around their state, which is one of:
+
+    current     - issues actively being worked
+    todo-today  - issues planned for today
+    pending     - issues that are blocked by some third-party
+    done        - issues that have been completely resolved
+    todo        - issues that need to be done in the future
+    dormant     - issues that are low-priority, to be tracked, but hidden
+                  by default
+
+Issue Properties:
+
+  PIT supports adding arbitrary properties to any issue to track any metadata
+  about the issue the user may wish. There are several properties that have
+  special behavior attached to them. They are:
+
+    created
+
+      If present, expected to be an ISO 8601-formatted date that represents the
+      time when the issue was created.
+
+    completed
+
+      If present, expected to be an ISO 8601-formatted date that represents the
+      time when the issue moved to the "done" state.  PIT will add this
+      property automatically when you use the "done" command, and can filter on
+      this value.
+
+    context
+
+      Allows issues to be organized into contexts. The -c option is short-hand
+      for '-p context:<context-name>' and the 'list contexts' command will show
+      all values of 'context' set in existing issues.
+
+    delegated-to
+
+      When an issue now belongs to someone else, but needs to be monitored for
+      completion, this allows you to keep the issue in its current state but
+      note how it has been delegated. When present PIT will prepend this value
+      to the issue summary with an accent color.
+
+    hide-until
+
+      When present, expected to be an ISO 8601-formatted date and used to
+      supress the display of the issue until on or after the given date.
+
+    pending
+
+      When an issue is blocked by a third party, this property can be used to
+      capture details about the dependency When present PIT will display this
+      value after the issue summary.
+
+    recurrence
+
+      When an issue is moved to the "done" state, if the issue has a valid
+      "recurrence" property, PIT will create a new issue and set the
+      "hide-until" property for that new issue depending on the recurrence
+      definition.
+
+      A valid recurrence value has a time value and optionally has an source
+      issue ID. For example:
+
+        every 5 days, 10a544
+
+      The first word, "every", is expected to be either "every" or "after".
+
+      The second portion is expected to be a time period. Supported time units
+      are "hour", "day", "week", "month", an "year", along with the plural
+      forms (e.g. "5 days", "8 hours", etc.).
+
+      The final portion is the source issue ID. This is optional. When a source
+      issue ID is given, the new issue is created as a clone of the given
+      issue. When not given, the issue being closed is used for cloning.
+
+      The "every" and "after" keywords allow the user to choose whether the new
+      issue is created based on the creation time ("every") or the completion
+      time ("after") of the issue being closed based.
+
+      Examples:
+
+        every day
+        every 2 days
+        after 2 days
+        every week
+        after 12 hours
+        every 2 weeks, 10a544
+
+    tags
+
+      If present, expected to be a comma-delimited list of text tags. The -g
+      option is a short-hand for '-p tags:<tags-value>'.
