Exactly.
A case I can think of---perhaps not convincing?---for regular expression
of drawer names is a file with many pasted in, lengthy notes or data
sets. So as to be able to distinguish them without opening them, one
might wish to title them:
:DATA-PROFILE1:
:DATA-PROFILE2X:
:DATA-TRANSECT_A:
:DATA-SALINITY-2008-04-29:
An extremely simple regular expression would be "DATA.*" . One can
argue, convincingly, that each data set would best be stored in a file,
and could be linked to.
I did have two sets of calendars from 1984 and 1985 that were not huge,
but were in the way. I can as easily entitle each with a headline,
then brace them in :CACHE: drawers.
You have convinced me, but I hope I would not bore you by asking you for
comments about this.
Perhaps a simpler solution here is to use the ARCHIVE tag, e.g.,
* DATA-PROFILE1 :ARCHIVE:
* DATA-PROFILE2X :ARCHIVE:
* DATA-TRANSECT_A :ARCHIVE:
* DATA-SALINITY-2008-04-29 :ARCHIVE:
This is especially useful if you already have these lines as
headlines (as you've indicated above) and just want to get them out
of the way, even when doing visibility cycling. Just do C-c C-x C-a
on each headline you want to hide.
