Yes, this is not a "basic" operation: it breaks the structure of the
document. Org helps you maintain it and organize it, this would be going

There are ways to do this, and you can even automate them with
a keyboard macro or a function.

Documentation patches are always welcome. The hardest part would be to
find an appropriate location for this. Maybe Miscellaneous.
