Thought just that we could get listing of all the stuff and hide in
folded org headline, so it is a bit prettier to look at; like "Show
more" buttons on some about screens. Maybe if we change from * to > or
some unicode emoji for triangle or something or SVG button as
demonstrated on /s/reddit yesteray that says "show more" and that
unfolds the list.

See above, just for prettier looks; it would be big list of links if we
print all features included.
