+*** Some previously rough topic-header format edge cases are reconciled.

 *** Many substantial fixes and refinements, including:
 
-   - repaired inhibition of inadvertent edits to concealed text
-   - repaired retention of topic body hanging indent upon topic depth shifts
+   - repaired regexp-quoting of custom header prefixes, so any literals
+     will now work (for instance, mathematica's "(*" is now properly
+     accepted).
+   - repaired inhibition of inadvertent edits to concealed text.
    - refuse to create "containment discontinuities", where a
      topic is shifted deeper than the offspring-depth of its' container
    - auto-fill-mode is now left inactive when allout-mode starts, if it
      already was inactive.  also, `allout-inhibit-auto-fill' custom
      configuration variable makes it easy to disable auto fill in allout
      outlines in general or on a per-buffer basis.

-     deactivation of allout-mode.

+     coordinating with deactivation of allout-mode.  `allout-mode-hook' is
+     now run after the `allout-mode' variable is changed, as is the new
+     `allout-mode-deactivate-hook'.
+   - allout now tolerates fielded text in outlines without disruption.
+   - hot-spot navigation now is modularized with a new function,
+     `allout-hotspot-key-handler', enabling easier articulation and
+     enhancement of the functionality by allout addons.
+   - topic body navigation is easier, where repeated beginning of line and
+     end of line key commands cycle through the actually beginning/end of
+     line and then beginning/end of topic, etc.  see new customization vars
+     `allout-beginning-of-line-cycles' and `allout-end-of-line-cycles'.
+   - repaired retention of topic body hanging indent upon topic depth shifts
    - bulleting variation is simpler and more accommodating, both in the
      default behavior and in ability to vary when creating new topics
    - mode deactivation now does cleans up effectively, more properly
      restoring affected variables and hooks to former state, removing

    - included a few unit-tests for interior functionality.  developers can
      have them automatically run at the end of module load by customizing
      the option `allout-run-unit-tests-on-load'.
