TODOs after comments are not matched

[timbslr]

If I have a comment like

// This function solves differential equations //TODO does it do that for all types of differential equations or only a subset?

(a TODO in the same line as another comment), then the TODO isn't highlighted in the editor, nor is it shown in the tree view.

In my opinion, TODOs after comments should also be matched and highlighted.

Would like to gather feedback from the community before doing that! Let's start a discussion here! 😊

I would perfer a TODO at the start of a comment line, like:

//TODO: some undone issue to be fix, or
// TODO(some maintainer): this also need to be done

I use "todo-tree.general.tags": [ "#todo", "#fix", "#bug", "#optimize", "#TODO", "#FIXME", "#BUG" ] before, and the tags may be put in any position. Is it supported here?

I'm just trying out VS Code for Rust dev (normally use IntelliJ), so I'm not a regular user yet, but I did notice I have a lot of todos like this:

do_some_stuff(x, y);     // Not sure this is right (todo)

So it's not picked up. I can probably fix this by tinkering with the regex though.

What speaks against supporting this too?
Requiring the same syntax (i.e. an additional // TODO) would eliminate most false positives while being a reasonable compromise IMO.
