No regressions that I can tell from my testing. Both emacs 29.3 (before imenu-flatten) and emacs-master show no change whatsoever (from what I can tell) when imenu-flatten is nil. >> Setting `imenu-flatten' to 'group works as expected with the quirk >> that top level headlines don't end up in the group. > > We may add a top-level group, can't we? > This does not seem to be a feature.

In my opinion this is not a good idea. While the UI of imenu is better when `imenu-flatten' is set, that's not a decision we should make for users. The inability for imenu to visit non-leaf nodes with the default UI is probably something that should be fixed in emacs core. > But what would be the best default? IMO that would be 'prefix. Which is equivalent to setting it to `t'.
