In my code these days, I have:

TODO

SHOULDDO

COULDDO

The TODOs generally don't make it to main, the others sometimes get picked up eventually.



I only use "TODO" eventually followed by a sub-classification like "TODO bug": it maximizes discoverability by other devs and tools, and allows for a lot of variants (both technical and/or functional) while still permitting a complete scan with a single grep.


I think common terminology for there are FIXME, TODO, XXX in that order, but YMMV
