I highly suggest to use (org-element-parse-buffer 'headline) instead of
plain (org-element-parse-buffer), since you really don't need to spend
time parsing the buffer down to the smallest object.

Also, you should check :raw-value property instead of :title, since the
latter is a secondary string (a list containing strings and objects)
which, as such, will never match a string. :raw-value, on the other
hand, is always a string and doesn't require the (stringp title) test.
