[Vimoutliner] Thanks again for checkboxes

[Lucas González]

Here's the reminder! ;-)

And I don't know what the priorities would be.  I guess it'd be an
outline of new features, and then we'd be able to prioritise what is
more useful, what's cooler, what has a greater potential to expand the
user-base, or whatever.

Thanks!

Lucas
