It's not that I'm "not interested at all in this matter", it's that... well,
actually, that's true. Outlines are boring.

Is that really what we're talking about here? Collapsing an outline at
different levels, a la Windows' REGEDIT? Because I don't have any idea what
the request for "better outlining support in XyWrite" means -- or if Manuel
once described his idea to me, I've forgotten it.

Does everyone create outlines using the DC (Define Counter) and C# (Counter)
commands? Can that be assumed? Why use a "number of tabs" instead of a unique
Style command for each DC, which would require only one tab (although that one
tab would indent to different depths)?
