My point was, imagine that an Emacs user decides to participate in *your* favorite open source project, which happens to be Leo, and that user wants to (a) use Emacs (ignore for the moment that it would make more sense to use Leo), and (b) comes to you with the above request. Are you going to be pleased about the sudden insertion of all those "# {{{" / "# }}}" markers into the Leo code base? Is being able to make them not too visually intrusive enough to make you ok with them? Leo's an odd example because it *is* an editor, but the same would apply for any collaborative project. I just don't think the provision of sentinel mitigation tools is going to help very much in the context of using Leo in mixed Leo / non-Leo environments. In some ways this was a response to "Will b1 *ever* arrive?" - you said it at least needs a sentinel mitigation tool for Emacs - I'm not sure they're that important.
