outline is line-oriented and does not distinguish end-of-block.

hideshow distinguishes end-of-block.

here is a form you can play with:

; *    !
  (let ((a b)
        (c (d e f
              g h))
        (i j))
    (l m n)
    (o p q
       (r s t))
    (u v
       (w x
          (y z))))

try `M-x hs-hide-level' w/ various prefix args on the `let' open-paren
("*" above).  likewise on the let-bindings open-paren ("!" above).  then
try `hs-hide-block', and so forth.  next, try the analogous outline
commands.  see what you like and what you don't.  write something on the
emacswiki, if it hasn't already been written.
