Hello Nicolas,

I think one objection agains this patch is that, I think, MobileOrg =
relies on #+DRAWERS lines to be present to define drawers.  Maybe the =
MobileOrg maintainers for both Android and iOS can chime in here?

Otherwise I don't have a significant objection against this change.
I am wondering if it is going to introduce spurious drawers and parsing =
errors if someone happens to have a string :xxx: on a line by itself in =
the buffer.  This might be unlikely, but I am not really sure.
Comments?

- Carsten
