I suspect this whole line of thought is a dead end: there is no way,
in a cooperative environment, to separate outline structure from
external files, which is the actual intent of these keys.  Thus, the
keys are an attempt to do the wrong thing.

You could say this is "comforting" because the idea of some kind of
gigantic amalgamation of data structures would likely have been a
truly bad design: way too complex to be feasible in practice.

P.S.  While in confusion/invention mode, it is vital to be as clear as
possible about what one does, in fact, know clearly.  So this is
progress, even if it seem negative in character.
