I have thought a bit about redoing all of the mappings in VimOutliner,
basically "creamifying" it, but that's a rather large task that, with
everything else currently on my plate, would certainly sit for a long
time on the back burner before I could even contemplate pulling it off.

If my own wishlist for personal use isn't doable, a related problem is
"how do I introduce vim expert-mode plugins to my co-workers without
having to switch from Cream to plain Gvim" as I want to just support one
editor, Cream.  I guess as long as I could start Cream with a different
conf file that put them in expert mode (but did not affect that setting
for regular Cream invocations) that might work (e.g. define a "vo.bat"
that does this).  But I don't know if that would be any less confusing
than supporting Cream plus plain Gvim.
