What I would like to request is a way to handle the following situation:

* Heading<... few hundreds of lines of invisible text>

If the user calls `kill-whole-line', a large part of the buffer will get
deleted. We had complains from the users about accidentally deleting a
lot of text in Org files in such situations.

So, I'd like some way to configure `kill-whole-line'/`kill-line' to warn
user about killing hidden text when we detect that we are deleting a
folded heading. Something like:

   (y-or-n-p "Kill hidden subtree along with headline? ")

I believe that it might be useful in other situations as well. Like in
outline-mode or outline-minor-mode.
