Interesting. The docstring for org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines seems to
suggest otherwise. Is this documentation inaccurate?

,----
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means don't show near deadline entries in the global todo list.
| Near means closer than `org-deadline-warning-days' days.
| The idea behind this is that such items will appear in the agenda anyway.
| See also `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date'.
| See also the variable `org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options'.
