Yes, that's why I'm not so pushy about it. OTOH, it's nice to hide them
when you have a lot of level-1 sections -- I remember that being asked
here by someone.

But, once again, for me, it's not that important.

That'd certainly be good -- and match my current Org config.

And, if I may, to be sure we are somehow "symmetrical", it'd be good to
have as well:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     * H1
     * H2
     ** Sub 2
     *** Sub sub 1
     *** Sub sub 2
         Text
     *** Sub sub 3
     *** Sub sub 4
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That is "ancestors" + the siblings of the leaf entry.

Best regards,
  Seb
