Estilo/macros para contornos em Plain TeX

Estou procurando um arquivo de estilo ou outras macros para criar um esboço em Plain TeX, do estilo recuado tradicional, por exemplo.

I.  Big Idea  
    A.  Sub idea  
    B.  Sub idea  
        1.  Thought  
            a.  Sub thought

Eu adoraria escrever um (algum dia), se ninguém tiver feito isso ainda e se alguém estiver interessado em colaborar.

Estas macros Plain TeX são vintage de 1991:

Como eu não estava realmente satisfeito com nenhuma macro do Plain TeX que encontrei, e as macros vintage de 1991 foram retiradas ou movidas (link rot), acabei escrevendo as minhas próprias, que seguem. Estes não são para LaTeX. O resultado é assim:

No final das macros há um esboço de exemplo.

% A sample usage of the above macros

\outline % new style
\A Example using newer macros
    \b  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor 
        \c incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
            \d Duis aute irure dolor 
                \e Freedom \dots from what?
                \5. from having to have a number in this point. This is using the old-style macro
                    \f At this level, we just want bullets
                \e Something more
                \e And another thing\dots
    \b What can be said more
        \c New point 1
        \c Yet another point 

\noindent Note that a blank line ends the outline
but the counters are not reset until a new {\tt\char`\\ outline} is
declared. So if you have something more to put into your outline, 
just do so. 

\A New point here.
    \b New subpoints 

\outline % old style
\I . Example outline with older macros
\I I. Big heading
    \2 A. Subhead
    \2 B. Subhead
        \3 1. Sub-subhead
        \3 2. Sub-subhead
            \4 a. Sub-sub-subhead
            \4 b. Sub-sub-subhead
                \5 i. sub-sub-sub-subhead
                \5 ii. sub-sub-sub-subhead
                \5 . Unlabeled sub-sub-sub-subhead
        \3 4. Next Sub-subhead. (oops! I skipped 3.)
\I II. New major head

%You can also insert a file with an outline in it, with \outlinefile 
\outlinefile file_with_my_outline.txt

%  Sample input, end
