[O] Fwd: org-bullets extension

[E Sabof]

* Currently the bullets get painted with background color on occasion.

* Overlays are easy to turn on/off. Same might be true for font-lock, I just haven't figured out a way. 

* Org-bullets conflict with overlay-heavy modes (ex. org-columns). This probably won't be the case with font-lock. 

* An important point is that in my version every character in text translates to a single character on display. Which makes it easier to work with headlines.

In any case, I'm open to the possibility that this approach might lead to a better/shorter solution.

I think what the package does can be achieved by the following snippet
or with minor tweaks to it.  Is my understanding correct?

    (font-lock-add-keywords
     'org-mode `(("\\(?:^\\(?1:\\*+\\)[[:blank:]]\\)"
                  (0 (progn (compose-region
