[Vimoutliner] Obvious but don't get it: how do I move outline at N+1 to N

Apart from the manual workaround (zc2<) it's what you get for making
a plain text editor edit structured files. vim just does not "know"
what you're intending to do. A more or less elaborate vimscript function
would be possible (it's just a matter of inserting/deleting leading tabs).

You'd need a separate keystroke for this, too, as you'd need to
distinguish this "move-inside-target" action from a normal "move"
operation where indentation is to be preserved.
