    1879 *** many substantial fixes and refinements, including: 
     1886*** Default command prefix changed to "\C-c " (control-c space), to avoid

     1889 
     1890*** Allout now uses text overlay's `invisible' property (and others) for 
     1891concealed text, instead of selective-display.  This simplifies the code, in

    1883    - prevent "containment discontinuities" where a topic is shifted deeper 
    1884      than the offspring-depth of its container 
    1885    - easy to adopt the distinctive bullet of a topic in a topic created 
    1886      relative to it, or select a new one, or use the common topic bullet 
    1887    - plain bullets, by default, now alternate between only two characters 
    1888      ('.' and ','), yielding less cluttered outlines 
    1889    - many internal fixes 
    1890    - version number incremented to 2.1 
     1899   - refuse to create "containment discontinuities", where a 
     1900     topic is shifted deeper than the offspring-depth of its' container 
     1901   - bulleting variation is simpler and more accommodating, both in the 
     1902     default behavior and in ability to vary when creating new topics 
     1903   - many internal fixes and refinements 
     1904   - many module and function docstring clarifications 
     1905   - version number incremented to 2.2

     4649This decouples the logical meaning of the fringe indicators from the
