That was my short-sighted attempt to allow for unquoted minus signs
in property names, and your query right now matches all entries having
a property "tag-TODO" different from "TODO".  TBH, I didn't think
about your use case, where two negations are concatenated directly
after each other.

OTOH, the unquoting ("\\-") that has been in place before above commit
was broken, which might serve as a hint that few to none actually use
minus signs in property names, at least not in queries.

Ihor, WDYT?  I can (with the necessary delay to allow for proper
testing) revert to some sort of quoting in property names which would
allow for Samuel's use case again.
