Yes, now C-RET and the speedkey `i' now function as
described in the documentation. The only place where the
function differs from the documentation is at the beginning of
a normal line. The documentation says, `If point is at the
beginning of a normal line, turn this line into a heading.'

Currently, calling M-RET will create a newline before the
text on the current line.So, if I call M-RET at the beginning of
(a), I get (b), rather than (c) which is what I would expect from
the documentation.

-----a----
Text I may later turn into a headline.

----b----

Hope this helps,
All best,
