Outline-mode is currently "wasting" 3 menus (Headings, Show, Hide) for
19 commands with keybindings (Emacs-26.3).

Org-mode is providing an intuitive outlining with only the <TAB> and
<Shift> keys.  If you need the complete functionality of outline
(movement and ordering commands), you can have it with only <ALT>, <RET>,
">", < and the `org-use-speed-commands' `n' `p' `b' 'f' and 'u'!

I'm not necessarily asking to replace outline-mode with org-mode but to
align the outline-mode interface to org-mode.
