Hey, I'm all about misguided user input :)

I read that brief thread, and it looks like there was a call for
opinions that I missed! Better late than never...

I don't see why `org-ctrl-c-star' --> `org-toggle-heading' isn't enough
for creating headlines out of existing text. At the very least, we
shouldn't now have three keystrokes (C-c *, M-RET, C-RET) that do the
same thing! Also, `org-M-RET-may-split-line', which was once a very
interesting variable, now does nothing since M-RET simply doesn't split
the line.

Or am I missing something about the new arrangement?

However it falls out, I would love to have two commands back: one that
starts a new heading under point, and one that starts a new heading at
the end of the current subtree. Ie, what M-RET and C-RET used to do...
