Query.  Org agenda is my personal Google.

It is highly appealing as a main view, but for me it is both far too
slow and dangerous.

By dangerous, I mean that you can perform an operation on the wrong
headline without realizing it, because the markers can get out of
sync.

I sort both in the agenda and in the outline, using the same sort
metastrategy.   It is a familiar sorting order.  Indentation in the
agenda would not help me.

What would help, however, is the ability to dim ancestor tasks of any
task that also shows in the same agenda view.  The built-in blocking
dimming is different from this.

Also, alternatively, sometimes I would want to dim descendant tasks of
any task that also shows in the same agenda view.
