Hi all, Org-mode uses two regex's to find headings, one from outline.el and one defined internally and captures more information. I propose we stop using the one from outline.el.
org-mode uses `org-back-to-heading` a lot to navigate point back to the nearest heading. This just delegates to `outline-back-to-heading` from the outline.el package, which uses a regex for finding headlines: "[*\^L]+" Org also defines another heading regex which is more capable and captures more information: "^\\(\\*+\\)\\(?: +\\(.*?\\)\\)?[ \t]*$". I would propose changing org-back-to-heading to use that so that a user (like me :) ) can use `match-string` to grab the relevant parts of the string. Since this is a pretty simple, but sweeping change, I thought I'd bring it up here first before patching. Thanks! -deech
