I just realised that we would need a few defalias-es if we are going to
have outline commands in the repeat-map to avoid overriding
outline-navigation-repeat-map when one uses outline-up-heading in
outline-minor-mode or outline-mode.

I will add this along with the above in the next patch.

I also have a repeat-map for org-todo since I have
org-support-shift-select to t which makes changing the TODO when in the
body text quite inconvenient.

BTW, should we add C-n and friends to org-navigation-repeat-map or just
have n, p, etc.?  I personally find C-n in the repeat-map disruptive
since I usually want to move the cursor after jumping to a specific
heading, in which case C-n not being next-line is annoying.
