Nice work!

Some nits:

- Should the variable names include _minor-mode_?  Is there a reason
  these buttons could not be used in the Outline major mode (which would
  make them usable in Org)?

  (FWIW I tried to enable this in NEWS, but the buttons did not seem
  very functional there)

- Customize has recently gained new SVG icons, among which the exact
  same chevrons.  I happen to quite like the way they look; any chance
  these icons could be reused for this feature, at least as an option?

- For some reason,

    emacs -Q
    C-h b
    C-x o       ; move to *Help* buffer
    n           ; move to "Major Mode Bindings" button
    RET

  … moves point back one character, instead of folding the bindings?


Despite the nits, this all looks very nice.  Thanks a lot!
