I stopped trying to use Outline minor mode in C and can't remember what
were the main annoyances.  Obviously my bug report was ...hmmm... really
poor, so it's not worth keeping.

IIRC I think one of the main things I wanted was to be able to fold "a
function" so we'd keep a single line for that function, whereas
currently a function like:

    static void
    myfun (blabla
           blabla)
    {
      bla blabla;
    }

is treated as 3 independent "headings".
