Two questions about org-export-insert-default-template in new org-exporter

Two questions about org-export-insert-default-template in new org-exporter

[Robert Goldman]

1.  The original org-insert-export-options-template always inserted the
template at the top of the file.  The new one inserts at point.  Since
the options need to be at the top of the file, would there be any
objection to making the new template inserter behave the same way?

2.  Users can directly issue this command using M-x
org-export-insert-default-template, since it's tagged as (interactive).
 Since this is possible, wouldn't it make sense to have the function
query for the BACKEND argument when invoked interactively?

Best,
r

I can't reproduce your claim on Org v8.03.

For instance this works great with html and LaTeX.

#+BEGIN_SRC org
* TODO my topic 
this is my documents with garbage in the bottom 
* hide the boring stuff          :noexport:
#+TITLE: my boring title
#+AUTHOR: my boring name 
#+DATE: Another day at the office
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil todo:nil
#+END_SRC

Use the export dispatcher.  C-e # or C-e l # (for LaTeX).

I don't remember this being the case in previous versions either, I
usually had something along the lines of

#+BEGIN_SRC org
* Configuration
