Documentation:
When non-nil, use only old-and-crusty `outline-mode' `*' topic prefixes.

Non-nil restricts the topic creation and modification
functions to asterix-padded prefixes, so they look exactly
like the original Emacs-outline style prefixes.

Whatever the setting of this variable, both old and new style prefixes
are always respected by the topic maneuvering functions.

You can customize this variable.
