I agree with all of the above, as somebody who uses inline tasks all the
time.  I would prefer the syntax to be very simple and would find, for
instance, a line starting with optional whitespace and "! " as a task
marker, akin to comments.  Nicolas proposed !! but I see no need for
more than one...

Using *s seems confusing as they are intended for headlines.  From a
font lock point of view, I would have thought that ! at the start of the
line would be easier as well.
