outline-minor-mode: customizing outline-regexp?

Hello all!

I use outline-minor-mode in combination with the package outshine, but I'm 
having a problem with the `outline-regexp' variable.

The way I understand it, it's supposed to control the regexp for the 
outline headings. I want to change the regexp for css-mode, but no matter 
what I set it to, it appears to use the old syntax for headings, ignoring 
my changes.

This is my last, desperate attempt:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my/css-outline ()
  (interactive)
  (outline-minor-mode -1)
  (outline-minor-mode)
  (outshine-hook-function)
  (setq outline-regexp
        (rx "/**"
            (one-or-more (any "*"))
            " ")))
(add-hook 'css-mode-hook #'my/css-outline)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It successfully sets the `outline-regexp' variable, but outline-minor-
mode, or perhaps outshine, doesn't seem to respect it. I suspect there's 
something else I need to do.

Does anybody have experience with this? I'd be thankful for any help :-)

Looking at the code (I don't use outshine) it seems that outshine sets
`outline-regexp' itself, so I guess it overwrites your setting.  I guess
you need to configure outshine's variables instead.

You inspired me to take a look at the source as well, and I found the 
pretty much undocumented `comment-padding' variable used by outshine.

The default behavior is to require at least one space of padding, but 
(setq comment-padding "") changes that and achieves what I wanted to do.

Thanks!
