Not a bad idea, but it is too late for that. Org-mode is married to
outline-mode, I don't think I could chaange this without re-writing
large parts.

Yes, a special prefix would do it, but I believe Raman's original
proposal also refers to the ease at which you can make and edit lists,
and long 4-key-stroke access to commands is annoying.

Well, if we had a minor mode that would be possible, but when
applied to source code it would require a language with block
comments. Making it work in comments where the first character of each
line is a special comment character, that would be too hard.
Also, with many source files, building the agenda or TODO list
would read all those files into emacs, and it would be slow.
