not really related, but wrt structure editing, is there anything that
preserves integrity of levels?  [my old maint version allows double
demotion [perhaps this is related to inline tasks], and i wonder about
org-yank, and org-lint does not complain.]

i have encountered cases in org where i find it annoying htat i hae to
c-g to stop transient mark mode.  will report if able.
