[Vimoutliner] Proposal: reverse indenting outliner

There are two different Linux outliners, TVO and VO. We're VO. Is that who
you 
wanted?

It would be trivial to create a program to take a normal outline and reverse 
it. I think a good name for the program would be mirror.rb :-) It would be a 
2 pass program -- pass 1 counts the highest indentation in the outline, and 
pass 2 recalculates indentation based on (max - this).

As far as using VO to create a "reverse outline", I think you can do that
with 
VO the way it is, always assuming you can think that way.

Thanks SteveT -- Thanks for pointing out that VO is not the same as TVO. 
You propose a conversion program that would let me use the existing style of
VO.  But this would oblige me to manage both outline modes at once.  I would
get confused.  Since the reverse indent style makes more sense to me and I'm
totally habituated to it, I'm hoping to get a program that would adapt to me
(and others who like reverse indent style).  It was easy for you to make the
conversion program, and I'm grateful.  Maybe it would be almost as easy to
augment VO or TVO.  ... 
Wistfully, ImLikeWhoa
