Ok, that is a valid way to do it (maybe the only way?), but it
requires writing a custom function to perform the regexp matching and
subtract its size.  Perhaps it would be nice to provide a predefined
function in outline.el that can be used to generate an outline-level
function -- this higher-order function would take one argument, a
group number, and would return a function that returns the size of the
text matching the specified group in outline-regexp.  Thoughts?
