[Vimoutliner] Extending VO

Heh, I posted about this on 01-19, subject "Re: [Vimoutliner] 
[OT] ThoughtManager".  The idea has been rolling around for a 
while, but I haven't had time or motivation to implement it.

Essentially, it's an object tree stored on disk, using filesystem 
concepts.  The hard part is that object trees don't map cleanly 
onto any major filesystems.  Something gets lost in translation.  
It may be "close enough", though.

As for its relation to VO, well, the idea isn't very compatible 
with Vim.  You might end up with an awesome outliner, but it 
wouldn't be a good text editor any more.
