I wasn't sure about this. I don't remember ever seeing somebody putting 
the
statistics cookie before the title but org-complex-heading-regexp-format
does support two position for the statistics cookie. Would adding 
support
for the two locations to this patch make the review process faster?

I was just looking for a way to get a heading title without any 
metadata.

Cheers.
