Find all the TODO's in a file or folder

function todo()
{
	# recursively search for TODO followed by colon, or [ ] with an underscore in between.
	findtext ("TODO" + ":|\[_\]")
}

...which relies on my ever-evolving sense of 'findtext'

Currently something like.... (this is dynamically loaded from util)

[string[]] $fileTypes = "*.md", "*.fmw", "*.txt", "*.cs", "*.cshtml", "*.css", "*.ps1", "*.js", "*.bat", "*.vbs", "*.vb", "*.xml", "*.config", "*.htm", "*.html", "*.pre", "*.ini", "*.sql", "*.linq", "*.json", "*.spark", "*.ts", "*.psm1", "*.psd1", "*.aspx", "*.ascx", "*.asp", "*.asmx", "*.pubxml", "*.dgml", "*.sln", "*.*proj", "*.spark", "*.rdl", "*.py", "*.log", "*.las", "*.ascx", "*.inc", "*.xaml",	"*.sh", "*.csv", "*.tsv", "*.php", "*.ok", "*.tsx", "*.targets", "*.yml", "*.yaml", "*.rdp", "*.less", "*.scss", "*.razor", "*.dbml", "*.layout", "*.gradle", "*.properties", "*.bas", "*.java", "*.m", "*.h", "*.iml", "*.swift", "*.xib", "*.strings", "*.storyboard", "*.kt", "*.xcconfig", "*.plist", "*.toml", "*.webmanifest", "*.prettierrc", "*.code-workspace", "*.gitignore", "*.hgignore", "*.dockerignore", "*.tt", "*.hta", "*.lock", "*.nsi", "*.dtsx","*.csproj","*.cjs","*.editorconfig","*.cmd","*.user","*.ejs","*.svg","*.props","*.puml";

## Commands:
## findtext $pattern                       <-- search all text type files for a particular regex
###                                             if the pattern is not valid as a regex we'll treat it as a literal string.
###                                             The complete list of filetypes is in this variable: $fileTypes
## findtext_raw $pattern                   <-- search all text type files for a literal string.
## findtext_type $types $pattern $recurse  <-- e.g. findtext_type "*.tsx" "import"
## findtext_raw_type $pattern              <-- search all text type files for a literal string.
## findtext_raw_casesensitive $pattern     <-- enforce case sensitivity!
## findtext_norecurse                      <-- findtext but avoid recursing into child folders
###                                             same as:   `format-findtext $pattern $false`
## findtext_help                           <-- help on findtext and related commands
## findtext_help_detailed                  <-- verbose help on findtext, with details.

.SYNOPSIS
	Looks for regex or (if $raw -eq $true) literal text patterns in all text files (but ignores `node_modules` folders, yay)
.DESCRIPTION
	Ever need to find some text, or perhaps a regex, in every text file under the current location, and want to skip any node_modules folders (and any .git folders) -- looking *only* in "text" files, such as all code and config files? Find-Text is your friend.
