[Vimoutliner] Thanks again for checkboxes

[Steve Litt]

Hi Lucas,

Let's discuss this when I return from Athens GA late this coming week. VO's 
code and capabilities have waaaayyyy outpaced its documentation, so I guess 
it's time for me to get to work documenting.

Please remind me late this coming week, and try to set up  priorities of what 
you'd like documented first.

Thanks
