No strong opinions on these issues here, but I'd point out that not
collapsing the parent node can sometimes lead to a very large and
potentially disorienting movement.  If your target node is near the top
of a long list of siblings, moving left without collapsing the parent
will move you way "down" the outline to get below that list, perhaps
scrolling all previous context out of view.
