>> I think maybe we should assign C-c C-c to occur-edit-mode instead.

I don't like that: C-c C-c means "done" usually so it'd be OK to leave
edit mode, but not to enter it.

> Or "e" (for edit; like in Rmail).

That sounds good.

>> 1. After C-x C-q, I can no longer kill entire lines in the occur buffer.
>> Trying to do so reports "Text is read-only".
>> The text properties are now added when entering occur-edit-mode.
> I don't understand if that means it's fixed. Deleting whole or even

But its meaning is unclear and we get to choose what is allowed and what
is not in edit mode since it's a new mode that the user
requested explicitly.
