This seems to be gross to type (even though `M-/' in Emacs should help a
lot).  Be sure you indeed want such long directive names, before
implementing. 

One thing I'd suggest to try to ditch is the ...-cont and ..-break tags.  
Can't the program decide on its own where one note ends and another 
begins?
