;;; Commentary:

;; This is an allout outline-mode add-on that highlights outline structure
;; with graphical widgets.
;;
;; To activate, customize `allout-widgets-auto-activation'.  You can also
;; invoke allout-widgets-mode in a particular allout buffer.  When
;; auto-enabled, you can inhibit widget operation in particular allout
;; buffers by setting the variable `allout-widgets-mode-inhibit' non-nil in
;; that file's buffer.  Use emacs *file local variables* to generally
;; inhibit for a file.
;;
;; See the `allout-widgets-mode' docstring for more details.
;;
;; Info about allout and allout-widgets development are available at
;; http://myriadicity.net/Sundry/EmacsAllout
;;
;; The graphics include:
;;
;; - icons for item bullets, varying to distinguish whether the item either
;;   lacks any subitems, the subitems are currently collapsed within the
;;   item, or the item is currently expanded.
;;
