Better UI for task aliases about hcl HOT 3 CLOSED

This is from @bjhess:

Perhaps "hcl tasks" could offer a number to pick the task from the list?

$ hcl tasks
1) 1234 5678   ClientX Software Development
2) 1234 9876   ClientX Admin
...
14)

Then just pass the selection number into the "hcl set task" command.

$ hcl set task.xdev 2

That selection number could be used for starting a timer as well.

"hcl tasks" could also list the alias, if it exists, for each task
since it will be forgotten.

How about something like this:

$ hcl alias
1) 1234 5678 Client X Admin
2) 1234 8765 Client X Software Dev (xdev)
Add/edit alias for which task? 1
Provide an alias for "Client X Admin": xadmin
$ hcl aliases
xadmin: Client X Admin
xdev: Client X Software Dev

For the most common use case this will do away with the need to use set or tasks at all in favor of the friendlier alias and aliases commands.

I added alias command and @-tasks in 0.4.0 which makes this slightly easier to use, but still requires cut and pasting...
