I think that the higher-level function `org-list-send-item' would be
useful too:

  (org-list-send-item (line-beginning-position) 'end (org-list-struct))

In a simple case this does exactly what I want. I have to check what happens if it is several layers deep, but it looks certainly very promising. Thanks.
