Set heading text from elisp?

Set heading text from elisp?

I'm wondering if there's builtin support for editing components of the
heading? I'm trying to set the text component (i.e. `(nth 4
(org-heading-components))`) without altering anything else and while I can
obviously achieve this with generic elisp I wanted to be sure I had to.

The cleanest elisp I came up with was:

```
(save-excursion
  (org-back-to-heading t)
  (let (case-fold-search)
    (looking-at org-complex-heading-regexp)
    (replace-match text t t nil 4)
    (org-align-tags)))

```

Nice! That looks like exactly what I wanted. Not sure how I missed that in
my apropos search. I think I may have only searched for `headline` or
something.
