It turns out the use of nil in the :type of outline regexp was for
very hysterical raisons. Prior to 2001-09-12T20:42:08Z!rms@gnu.org, the
default value was nil, then it was initialized afterwards.
Everywhere in the code assumes it cannot be nil, so no need to allow
that any more.
* lisp/outline.el (outline-regexp): No longer allow nil.
(outline-heading-end-regexp): Add safety predicate.

so the regexp need not (and usually does not) start with `^'.
The recommended way to set this is with a Local Variables: list
in the file it applies to. See also `outline-heading-end-regexp'."
