I have been writing and debugging an importer for .otl files. The read
part works, sans error checking.

Leo must use special write logic for .otl files. It's not enough to
suppress sentinels--the write logic must use hard tabs for indentation
and must insert ": " before all body lines. Special casing the write
logic will be ugly, but should be easy enough.

When the write code works, Leo will be able to round-trip @auto x.otl
trees.  It makes no sense to support @file x.otl: vimoutliner has no
notion of gnx's or sentinel lines.

In short, Leo will soon support a bridge between Leo outlines and
vimoutliner files.
