Adding that would make it even more flexible than vfollow, but it would change the syntax of ORG, which breaks the beauty of its natural extension. And it would force one to hunt for labels in the source to understand the layout of the file (extending start would too). > This does seem to be a lot of new terminology to add (start, vstart, > follows, vfollows), but it makes for a complete format.

If you want to reduce the amount of new terminology, we could get rid of follows (since a section can be followed by only one section, it can as well always be the next one). Having vfollows but not follows could also help to remember which [v]start specifies what. - VP |
