Please don't add more arguments to org-get-heading. It used to have 2,
then it had 4, and now you want to add a 5th. Every time the function's
signature changes, it breaks code in third-party packages and user code
in random places, which requires the addition of messy compatibility
code and intermediate functions that do nothing but wrap org-get-heading
with a certain number of arguments.
It would be much preferable to make a new function that uses keyword
arguments so the addition of more arguments won't affect existing code.
Maybe it could be called org-entry-heading.
