All true.  Furthermore, @shadow guarantees that the resulting outline,
when written (and then stripped of sentinels) will be identical to the
"incoming" public file.

The problem is that, unlike @auto, with @shadow there is no real way to
share or change outline structure--the resulting outline will have the
*existing* outline structure (for each user), without any structural
changes, no matter how significant.

In contrast, @auto, despite its *present* limitations, always faithfully
reproduces the inherent outline of the incoming file.
