`hide-leaves' in outline.el leaves point in wrong place

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

In GNU Emacs 20.7.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
 of Tue Jul 25 2000 on raven
configured using `configure  i386-debian-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr 
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib 
--infodir=/usr/share/info --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=yes'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Following is the definition of `hide-leaves'.  

    (defun hide-leaves ()
      "Hide all body after this heading at deeper levels."
      (interactive)
      (outline-back-to-heading)
      (outline-end-of-heading)
      (hide-region-body (point) (progn (outline-end-of-subtree) (point))))

It will leave point at the end of the subtree.  `hide-region-body' does not
change point, and before entering `hide-region-body', point is where
`outline-end-of-subtree' leaves it.  This is not a convenient place.  A
reasonable place to leave point would be where `outline-end-of-heading' leaves
it.  If you're hiding the leaves of something, it's reasonable to leave point
on that something when you finish.  Probably that's where you stated in any
case.
My guess is that the original author intended this.  One simple way to get
that result is to replace the `progn' with `save-excursion'.
