outline-heading-alist for elisp using ";; * "

[Christopher Dimech <dimech@gmx.com>]

Have made the following function.  I alse want to be able to select the
defalt headings for elisp which I think is ";;; Heading"

Having difficulties on what modifications I need to do.

(defun headline-elisp (hdl)
   "todo"

   (pcase hdl
     (1
        (defvar rgc ";;; \\*+ "))
     (_
        (defvar rgc ";;; \\([A-Za-z]\\|[IVXLCDMivxlcdm0-9]+\\) | ")) )

   (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook
	     (lambda ()
	       (set (make-local-variable 'outline-regexp) rgc))) )
