What if point is in the headline, which is often the case?  Besides the
docstring is inconsistent:
      With two universal prefix arguments, insert the heading at the end
      of the grandparent subtree.  For example, if point is within a
      2nd-level heading, then it will insert a 2nd-level heading at the
      end of the 1st-level parent heading.

In the first sentence it says "grandparent subtree", whereas in the second
sentence it says "parent heading".  And the manual says "parent":
      Calling this command with `C-u C-u' will unconditionally respect
      the headline's content and create a new item at the end of the
      parent subtree.

Perhaps uniformity of terminology would help here.

I think that, whether we describe both behaviors separately or tell
the user that
C-RET is equivalent to C-u M-RET, the commitment (to not change the behavior)
is the same.  But if you still think that describing both separately is more
future-proof, I won't argue.

But I still ask you to look at the other points I made about that manual
section: that it doesn't adequately explain the effect of C-u M-RET, and that
the description of C-RET is actually wrong.

Thank you very much for working on Org!
