 particular avoiding the need for kludges for isearch dynamic-display,

+*** Some previously rough topic-header format edge cases are reconciled.
+Level 1 topics use the mode's comment format, and lines starting with the

 *** Many substantial fixes and refinements, including:
 
-   - repaired inhibition of inadvertent edits to concealed text
-   - repaired retention of topic body hanging indent upon topic depth shifts
+   - repaired regexp-quoting of custom header prefixes, so any literals
+     will now work (for instance, mathematica's "(*" is now properly
+     accepted).
+   - repaired inhibition of inadvertent edits to concealed text.
    - refuse to create "containment discontinuities", where a
      topic is shifted deeper than the offspring-depth of its' container
    - auto-fill-mode is now left inactive when allout-mode starts, if it
      already was inactive.  also, `allout-inhibit-auto-fill' custom
      configuration variable makes it easy to disable auto fill in allout
      outlines in general or on a per-buffer basis.

+   - allout now tolerates fielded text in outlines without disruption.
+   - hot-spot navigation now is modularized with a new function,
+     `allout-hotspot-key-handler', enabling easier articulation and
+     enhancement of the functionality by allout addons.
+   - topic body navigation is easier, where repeated beginning of line and

+   - repaired retention of topic body hanging indent upon topic depth shifts
    - bulleting variation is simpler and more accommodating, both in the
