Yes. It will make sense.

Please put the second sentence on a separate line. By convention, first
line is a short description of the command and should not exceed 80
symbols. See
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Documentation-Tips.html
Also, it will be a good idea to write heading at point when the command
is called with prefix argument (C-u).
> + ;; SWH 2022-11-22 changes to allow for writing heading at point instead of inserting new.
Please prepare a proper patch with CHANGELOG entry.
This comment is not how we make changes in Org.
See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#first-patch
> (interactive)
You can change the interactive form to allow prefix argument.
See https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Using-Interactive.html
