Thanks.  Does it make sense for these commands to follow similar
semantics as Org Mode's sparse trees?  With C-c / / in an Org file, the
entire buffer is folded as much as possible, but the matching items are
made visible.  Here's a practical example:

* 1
abc
* 2
def
* 3
ghi

M-x org-mode
C-c / / ghi RET
(Only ghi section is visible.)
C-c / / abc RET
(Only abc section is visible.)
C-u C-c / / ghi RET <- Current folding status is kept.
(abc and ghi sections are visible.)

The main difference is that outline-show-by-heading-regexp would match
only headings, but that is clear given the name of the command.
