This is hardly an odious requirement.  A typical file will contain
only just a few nodes requiring a closing -node sentinel.  Thus, the
new scheme removes all @nonl and @nl sentinels, and the vast majority
of @-node sentinels.  Furthermore, the emacs-like notation for outline
level is much easier for the user to understand.

BTW, I have decided to use +node, -node, +others and -others in the
new scheme.  It turns out that the code doesn't need new spellings of
these sentinels, so it's cleaner not to change spellings of sentinels.
