I like the idea proposed by Niels, but I'd want to be able to call
it for a tree too, not just the top-level of a whole file.  In other
words, I'd like to prune any chosen tree to archive DONE items under
it.  Perhaps an example is best...

--- .org file before archiving ---
* Tasks
** TODO Task 1
** DONE Task 2
** TODO Project A
*** TODO Task A1
*** DONE Task A2
** DONE Project B
*** DONE Task B1
*** DONE Task B2

--- .org file after archive of top-level tree ---
* Tasks
** TODO Task 1
** TODO Project A
*** TODO Task A1
*** DONE Task A2

--- _archive file after archive of top-level tree ---
* Tasks
** DONE Task 2
** DONE Project B
*** DONE Task B1
*** DONE Task B2
