Many thanks for this link. The similarities and differences between
Leo and org mode are fascinating.

I plan to introduce Leo to the org mode people in a day or so.  The
gist will be that I hope org mode will steal ideas from Leo.  I
certainly plan to steal ideas from org mode :-)

The main ideas for org mode to steal from Leo are:

- Organizing programs as outlines.  @others, @test, @button, etc.
- Clones and dags.
- Treating outlines internally as objects, not text: c.all_nodes(),
etc. (A proper DOM).

Each would create a revolution in org mode.  The third would eliminate
all performance problems in org mode.

I plan to steal doc-related ideas from org mode, among many other ideas.
