Hi Bastien,

Great -- can you submit a patch against current git head?

Following 5 patches implement looping over headlines in active region

for org-schedule and org-deadline. Invisible headlines are skipped

Hi David,

I am wondering, why did you choose to skip invisible headlines?

I would worry that this introduces inconsistent behavior and also

makes it hard to use this feature in a programmatic way.

and

bulk-agenda commands work by binding the customization variable to nil

before executing a command.

I've been running with this modification for 2 weeks now, using the

feature occassionally without a visibile problem.

As for the macro: What stop me to implement a macro for the generic

operation is that for now the macro would depend on the global

customization variable. That's not a problem per se but according to

my readings about macros (mostly in context of Common Lisp, but that

shouldn't matter) it should be considered bad style.

I did some experiments with defining an `org-map-entries' MATCH of

'current that causes FUNC to be applied to the current heading

only, but I'm not sure if this would be a right thing (tm) to do.

Best,

David Maus (5):

Extend scope 'region to include body of last headline in active

  region

Immediately return if scope is region but no region is active

New customization variable: Loop over headlines in active region

Skip invisible headlines when mapping over headlines in active region

Avoid conflict between bulk command and loop-over-headlines
