* Jump to Heading Body, Create Plain List Item

I've been reading through the code, and I don't think this is possible
yet, but I wanted to double check before I wrote something.

I'd like a function that would do the following:

 1) Move to the "body" of a heading (skipping drawers and the like)

 2) Create the "body" if necessary (when there are no lines between
    sibling headings or between drawers and a sibling heading)

 3) Append a new plain list item (or create a new plain list if there
    wasn't one there already)


I find myself doing this many times during the day:

 1) Create a new heading, and clock in

 2) Move point past the clock drawer

 3) Create a blank line under the drawer

 4) Create a list item

It would be super cool if I could just hit a key on a heading, and it
would append a new plain list item and move point there.  I would
probably bind M-RET to this function, since I use C-RET to create new
headings.

Does this exist?  I'll write it otherwise.

This is what I've come up with so far.  I have M-RET bound to the first
function, and M-S-RET bound to the second function.

(defun pmade:org-list-append (&optional checkbox)
  "Append a plain list item to the current heading.  If the
current heading already has plain list items, a new one will be
added, otherwise a new plain list will be created.  If checkbox
is set, add a plain list item with a checkbox."
  (interactive "P")
  (when (not (org-insert-item (if checkbox 'checkbox)))
    (org-back-to-heading)
    (org-show-subtree)
    (outline-next-heading)
    (newline)
    (when (bolp) (previous-line))
    (org-indent-line-function)
    (insert (concat "-" (if checkbox " [ ] " " ")))))

(defun pmade:org-list-append-with-checkbox ()
  "Calls `pmade:org-list-append' with checkbox set."
  (interactive)
  (pmade:org-list-append t))

Small bug fix:

(defun pmade:org-list-append (&optional checkbox)
  "Append a plain list item to the current heading.  If the
current heading already has plain list items, a new one will be
added, otherwise a new plain list will be created.  If checkbox
is set, add a plain list item with a checkbox."
  (interactive "P")
  (when (not (org-insert-item (if checkbox 'checkbox)))
    (org-back-to-heading)
    (org-show-subtree)
    (outline-next-heading)
    (if (eolp) (newline)
      (newline)
      (previous-line))
    (org-indent-line-function)
    (insert (concat "-" (if checkbox " [ ] " " ")))))

(defun pmade:org-list-append-with-checkbox ()
  "Calls `pmade:org-list-append' with checkbox set."
  (interactive)
  (pmade:org-list-append t))
