Re: existing work on TODO items

    Sure, but mostly the latter.  Just the code size (1/4 MB of allout)
    must be significant.  It's not just maintenance, though; it affects
    interactive and programmatic users too.  For instance, if allout was
    built on outline, it would be obvious to us that it was at least a
    superset, and there would be mode-specific support which doesn't seem
    to have been programmed for allout.

Ken, what do you think about that?  Would it be feasible to
rewrite allout.el to be based on outline.el?  (We would
install this after the release.)
