Will do.

That's an interesting revelation! I'll have to give that some thought
but I think it'll be useful for more than just inheritance.

Ok will do.

Thanks again for taking a look at this. I had some issues with the ELPA
deployment but I think I took care of them.

It looks like ELPA grabbed code from before I sent the first email. From
the beginning of the boxy-headlines repo I've been using 1.0.0 as the
version so maybe that explains it. There's a call to
org-real--add-headline which was renamed to
boxy-headlines--add-headline. I just pushed out version 1.0.1 with your
changes to both projects, so that should update boxy-headlines, right?

It looks like .elpaignore should only use relative paths. I will update
those accordingly so the test cases in boxy.el are not compiled.

The brief for boxy-headlines looks a little awkward in org format. If I
add the README.org and demo folder to .elpaignore it should fall back to
the "Commentary" and shrink the package size considerably.
