Well, nice!  The only problem is hat it is an extra comment, and I  
don't have a good hook for you where to put this.  So you need to call  
two separate commands to make this happen.  If you don't mind this,  
then you are done.

If the matching entry has children, the org-cycle will only show the  
children's heading, not the whole subtree.  You might want to call it  
twice, or try a different approach using org-back-to-heading and org- 
show-subtree.
