[Orgmode] Using SCHEDULED to indicate task start date

[Nick Bell]

Dear org-mode users and developers,

[Using 6.17 here.]

SCHEDULED nicely hides TODOs from agenda views until on/after the 
SCHEDULED date.

I'd like to hide TODOs whose SCHEDULED date is in the future from the 
global todo list (C-c a t) .

'Org Agenda Todo Ignore Scheduled' option hides all scheduled TODOs, 
including those whose scheduled date is in the past, so won't work for me.

In other words, I'd like to use SCHEDULED function as a kind of 'start 
date' for a TODO, before which it won't appear on agenda or global todo 
lists. Is this possible?

Many thanks

Nick
