Well, the project 'Org-mode outside Org-mode' started with the very
simple yet generic idea to give source-code files the look&feel of
Org-mode files, and (in theory) it should work with all kinds of
major-modes - headlines are just outcommented Org-mode headlines with
whatever comment-syntax the major-mode at hand uses.
Now I added two hacks - one for Org-mode itself (to enable the use of
'navi-mode' with Org-mode), the other for the oldschool lisp headers.
But its still oriented at Org-mode - only the headlines are matched, not
"^(" or so.
But with 'navi-mode' its easy to get an overview over the all
definitions (or maybe just the function or just the variable
definitions) in a buffer. These are the keyword searches I defined for
Emacs Lisp in 'navi-mode':
,-------------------------------------------
| [KEY] : [SEARCH]
| ================
| a : ALL
| f : FUN
| v : VAR
| x : OBJ
| b : DB
| F : defun
| V : defvar
| C : defconst
| G : defgroup
| U : defcustom
| A : defadvice
| M : defmarcro
| D : defface
| S : defstruct
| L : defclass
| K : global-set-key
| T : add-to-list
| Q : setq
| H : add-hook
| O : hook
| X : lambda
| R : require
`-------------------------------------------
but this is customizable, try
,---------------------------------------------
| M-x customize-variable RET navi-key-mappings
| M-x customize-variable RET navi-keywords
`---------------------------------------------
for examples and explanations
One special thing about 'navi-mode' is that all 'free' ASCII printing
characters are by default bound to 'navi-generic-command', thus after
substracting the reserved one-key bindings from navi-mode itself, the
user still has lots of keys left to define his/her own keyword-searches,
and these key definitions are done by language. Here is e.g. what I
defined for picolisp-mode:

I'm of course a bit biased towards the Ord-mode style headers, but with
the direct comparison to the 'oldschool headers' possible now, I still
find them much better when it comes to signaling 'this is a headline'
and 'this headline has level X'. But if one of those days one of my
libraries would make it into Emacs, it wouldn't be a problem to convert
them back to the oldschool syntax.
