Wondering about current status and potential direction:
I'm wondering what the difference between @auto with persistence and
@shadow is... is @shadow not trusted enough or has limitations that
need addressing?
Mainly the issue that the .shadow (or whatever it's called) directory is
unique per user. No real way to share outline structure without sharing
that ugly directory.
I'm not aware of a solution for @auto persistence which would look much
different than @shadow.
I was really intrigued by Edward's abandoned @view work back in (I
think) February... but I forget why that was deemed impossible.

There have been a couple of mentions of @auto nodes
gaining persistence, what are the chances of this happening
in core? Something like persistent UAs, such that
@auto <file.py> would store the UAs of the tree, putting
them in it's UA.
I'll start on scaffolding outside Leo to persist @auto nodes
if this isn't going to happen, but core would be nice.

I think there would be potential benefits beyond my
particular proclivities. No other tool offers
the power of transparently bringing the power of a
database to code in this way.
There is also a pretty old bug in 'refresh from disk'
just saying ...

Thanks,

PS
I've realized another reason @file doesn't interest me other
than the problem with sentinels when editing outside Leo.
I place a lot of value on structuring with Leo, the huge benefit
of hierarchical arrangement of headline/body pairs. Content
that lives in the Leo file gains value through the power of outlining.
However, when working with source code, I consider the correct
structure to be that provided by the language: declarations,
functions, classes, methods ... exactly what @auto does, no more, no
less.
Of course this is a matter of taste, not correctness.
