[NEW FEATURE] org-hlc.el - hidden-lines-cookies (hlc) for Org-mode

[Thorsten Jolitz <tjolitz@gmail.com>]

Hi List, 

I ported this from outshine.el (i.e. outline-minor-mode) to Org-mode,
hope it is useful. 

What is it all about? With 'org-hlc' 

,--------------------------------------------------------------------
| Behind every folded headline, a little 'cookie' shows the number of
| hidden lines till the next visible headline.
`--------------------------------------------------------------------

e.g.

,---------------------------------------------------------------------
| * my-file.org [#13]
| ** Commentary [#1]
| *** About my-file
| 
|  This file implements extensions for occur-mode. You can think of a
|  navi-buffer as a kind of 'remote-control' for an (adecuately)
|  outline-structured original-buffer.
| 
| *** Usage [#165]
`---------------------------------------------------------------------

I attach the code to this message, you can find the git-repo here:

,--------------------------------
| https://github.com/tj64/org-hlc
| git clone https://github.com/tj64/org-hlc
`------------------------------------------

Please let me know if there is interest to include this in Org-mode.

;;; Commentary:

;; 'hidden-lines-cookies' (hlc) are small cookies at the end of each folded
;; (and visible) headline in an Org-mode buffer that show the number of hidden
;; lines before the next visible headline.

;; hidden-lines-cookies can be handled with three user commands:
;; `org-hlc-show-hidden-lines-cookies', `org-hlc-hide-hidden-lines-cookies',
;; and the convenience command `org-hlc-toggle-hidden-lines-cookies' that
;; toggles between the two other commands conditional on the last one
;; executed.

;; The appearance of the cookies can be customized by changing the values of
;; four customizable variables: `org-hlc-hidden-lines-cookie-left-delimiter'
;; (with default value "["), `org-hlc-hidden-lines-cookie-right-delimiter'
;; (with default value ']), `org-hlc-hidden-lines-cookie-left-signal-char'
;; (with default value "#") and
;; `org-hlc-hidden-lines-cookie-right-signal-char' (with default value "").

;; Thus an exemplary folded headline with 165 hidden lines before the next
;; visible headline might look like this when hidden-lines-cookies are shown:
