Stepping back from implementation and separate vs. combined plug-ins,
sort of feeling that the velocity (speed and direction :-) of the
drawer and jupyter/ipython threads are different than they were in
pre-vacation discussions.  Do you share that sense?  Particularly I
was thinking of Leo as a new interface to / client of jupyter/ipython,
rather than any emulation / duplication of jupyter/ipython features in
Leo, for reasons discussed earlier.

On drawers, again thinking back to earlier recent discussion, I'm not
sure quite what the goal is.  In one sense it seems Leo would have
different solutions for the need met by drawers in org. mode, most
simply just sub-nodes.  But in another sense drawers seem to be an
in-line body text feature handled by collapsing / folding, which makes
sense in a flat text document world but isn't something Leo with it's
tree often does.  If it did, the most exact duplication of behavior
would be with something like the wikiview.  Note that there's no recent
activity on https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/489, and I
feel as if I've been using wikiview without issues, so I'm not
currently sure there's a bug there, but would still like the answers to
the questions posed by #489 just for clarity.

If there is to be a uA based implementation of drawers (a) I think it
would be easiest to extend attrib_edit, but (b) am not sure how the uA
approach addresses the in-line text position of the drawer in the body
text, it seems only wikiview type approaches do that, and it seems
necessary for any real drawer mode emulation.

Cheers -Terry
