I didn't necessarily propose anything, it might only be able to solve
this using a option like

     (defcustom outline-minor-mode-cycle-predicate ...)

as to allow for users to configure cycling as they see fit. Of course if
some consistent behaviour could be found that respects other options and
modes, then something automatic could also be used.
