I ended up writing a function on top of that that does find-or-create,
so you can go to a certain outline path, creating and inserting
(optionally in sorted order) the missing segments as you go. It was
fairly difficult to get right, so perhaps it will be of use to someone,
or appropriate for Worg or even Org proper:
