d) the inheritance rules of these levels - In the manual it says it is
off (7.4 Property Inheritance):
,----
| Org mode does not turn this on by default, because it can slow down
| property searches significantly and is often not needed. However, if
| you find inheritance useful, you can turn it on by setting the variable
| `org-use-property-inheritance'.
`----
But based on my experience it is on? Also in the examples it is on?
Especially the inheritance with the combination of the + is confusing
to me. If inheritance is on, the + should add an argument to the
header-args property, while without the +, it should overwrite the
inherited property? Or do they do the same?
