Emacs outline-mode has a plethora of such specific commands, and
exposes all of them as user interface. Org prides itself
to have compressed that entire functionality into the TAB and S-TAB
commands. You specific example, org-show-subtree is basically
TAB TAB on a closed tree. SO yes, there are lots such commands,
but I am no sure it would be good to expose them in the manual.
