Hi Carsten,

as far as your time permits, would think it's useful to keep this point
for a style discussion.

For me, that's a classical way Emacs handles things, but it's a 
classical fault too. The reason, why Emacs is censored having a steep 
learning curve, get its rumour being difficult is just here IMHO.

Well, OTOH success of Emacs and org-mode itself are against me.
Finally I use Emacs myself,  so it can't be that grave.

So what's wrong writing programs that way at this point?

I'll leave the answer open for now.
Want to see if I'm the only way raising that concern.
Meanwhile I use the variable....

Cheers


Andreas
