Thanks for this package, it simplified adding TOC to a pdf file
immensely but I had a couple hiccups when using it:

    1. Can we have a command that sets the page number of an outline
       item by reading it from the user?  I.e., if I say M-x
       toc-set-page-number RET 20, it would set the heading's page
       number to 20, and a respective -remaining command.  This would be
       a very nice complement to <right> and S-<right> that we already
       have.  Equivalently, we could also accept a numeric argument for
       <right> and S-<right>.
    2. AFAICT, there is no way to edit the outline level from the
       tabular buffer?  Is this possible, I figured out the way to
       adjust the level is to edit the spaces in the first buffer, but
       that took some trying to figure out.
    3. Finally, can you put the commonly used keybinding in the
       major-mode's documentation?

If you would like to have these as patches instead, then I can try to
shoot some in two weeks time.
