Whats kind of confusing for me is that all other successors are either
'atomic' objects or 'object-categories' containing 'atomic' objects:
,--------------------------------------------------------------------
| Object Recur? Successor(type) SecVal-Location
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| bold X text-markup
| code text-markup
| entity latex-or-entity
| export-snippet X
| footnote-reference X :inline-definition
| inline-babel-call X
| inline-src-block X
| italic X text-markup
| line-break X
| latex-fragment latex-or-entity
| link X X
| macro X
| radio-target X X
| statistics-cookie X
| strike-through X text-markup
| subscript X sub/superscript
| superscript X sub/superscript
| table-cell X X
| target X
| timestamp X
| underline X text-markup
| verbatim text-markup
`--------------------------------------------------------------------
Only plain-link is an 'outlier' in this systematic. What is a link like
,-------------------
| http://orgmode.org
`-------------------
then, when encountered in an Org document? If its not an object nor an
element, then it is (anonymous) part of the String that forms a paragraph?
Its easy to understand that some objects can be successors of other
objects/elements, others not, and that its sometimes convenient to
organize similar successor objects into successor-categories.
Its not so easy to understand how something can be a successor but not
an object.
