I've optimized org-scan-tags a bit following your ideas (gaining ~12%
according to elp) -- thanks for these directions.

This would be confusing.  Particularily, org-tags-view uses
org-scan-tags using both the todo-only argument and a matcher: so 
if you make the todo-only argument aware of TODO keywords, there
might be some interference between todo-only and the matcher.

I'd rather not go that route.

Thanks,
