OMG: @nosent should put headlines as comments

[Edward K. Ream]

I've been blind all these years!  @nosent should put headlines as nodes a comments.  They would be very useful and I can see no reason not to put such comments.  If, for some reason, they are not desired, you could use @asis.

I dimly recall discussion of a similar topic, perhaps years ago.  What do you think?

Where does @edit fit in the @nosent @asis realm?

@edit is read/write, @nosent is write-only.

I use @nosent for non-code text mostly, and it's not clear what "comment" should mean in that context.

I for sure would like this kind of feature, but sometimes I'd like to have the headlines written as reST style headlines (underlines), etc.

So this is not a complete no-brainer modification.

Instead of changing how Leo fundamentally behaves (@nosent is part of that), how about adding a new @directive that allows things like this? E.g. "@write a.txt" would be nice & "obvious".

I agree.  Some more thought is needed.

In this case, adding support for a new directive might be more complicated than changing @nosent :-)

This is on the Leo/Do First list, which means that I'll attempt it for the next release.  No promises, though.
