Hi John,

I'd like a function that takes an arbitrary regexp that matches a heading
in the current org-mode buffer, and the subtree at point will then be moved
to the level underneath that heading. So I'll have a number of headings
"Current Task", "Todo Today", "Activity Inventory", and various date
headings. I'd like to be able to move subtrees between those headings with
Emacs Lisp code.

I'm wondering if someone has suggestions on how to do this, or if it is
even possible? I've tried a few things but can't seem to get it to work
consistently.

Thanks,

Martin
