Currently everything is customizable in outline-minor-mode by just
two variables: outline-regexp and outline-level. So when necessary,
emacs-lisp-mode could provide an option that will set different values
of these variables, one of which could set outline-regexp to a regexp
that matches: lists, '(...), let, let*, pcase, if, when, etc…
