I already shared my new trick (which might not be that new for many
others) on the PicoLisp mailing list:

`-------------------------------------------------------------------

When you replace # with ; as comment char, there is no difference
between a PicoLisp source file (.l) or an Emacs Lisp source file (.el)
with regards to this trick. 

Actually, the Org-mode visibility commands mostly work out of the box
too, without the .l or .el source buffer being in org (minor) mode,
since outline-minor-mode is active and these Org commands often simply
act on the (buffer local) 'outline-regexp', which might be '^;; \*+ ' or
'^## \*+ ' or something similar too.
