To be honest, I don't see much need for fine-grained special cases. I'd 
be very happy with C-u yanking at the level of the heading at point and 
C-u C-u yanking at one level below that, regardless of the exact 
position of point. I realize that would mean C-u doubling what can 
already be done by calling org-paste-subtree with point at the beginning 
of a heading but accessing both options (paste as sibling or child) with 
a single or repeat C-u seems more consistent to me than having one 
depend on position and getting at the other via the command prefix.

Thanks a lot for your dedication in working on this!
