Org reader doesn't support parsing fast access TODO states

[RyanGibb]

Relevant section of the org-mode manual: https://orgmode.org/manual/Fast-access-to-TODO-states.html

I.e. this isn't parsed as a keyword:

#+TODO: TODO(t) | DONE(d)
* TODO test

[ Header
    1
    ( "todo-test" , [] , [] )
    [ Str "TODO" , Space , Str "test" ]
]

But this is:

#+TODO: TODO(t) | DONE(d)
* TODO(t) test

[ Header
    1
    ( "test" , [] , [] )
    [ Span
        ( "" , [ "todo" , "TODO(t)" ] , [] ) [ Str "TODO(t)" ]
    , Space
    , Str "test"
    ]
]

I think this is where the omission is

pandoc/src/Text/Pandoc/Readers/Org/Meta.hs

Lines 254 to 264 in ec08f03

	todoKeyword :: Monad m => OrgParser m Text
	todoKeyword = many1Char nonspaceChar <* skipSpaces
	todoKeywords :: Monad m => OrgParser m [Text]
	todoKeywords = try $
	let endOfKeywords = todoDoneSep <|> void newline
	in manyTill todoKeyword (lookAhead endOfKeywords)
	doneKeywords :: Monad m => OrgParser m [Text]
	doneKeywords = try $
	manyTill (todoKeyword <* optional todoDoneSep) (lookAhead newline)

I'm on pandoc 3.1.11.1.

This goes beyond my Org-mode knowledge, and the manual section you link to just describes modifying this in elisp, not the behavior of #+TODO: ....

@tarleb, who wrote this code, may be able to help.

[RyanGibb]

Right! From my experiments org mode does support this with #+TODO: ..., as in the example above. I might be able to create a PR for this if there would be an appetite for it.

@RyanGibb a PR would be most welcome. Please let us know if we can be of assistance there.
