+1 Ideally, we should use something more Elisp-friendly compared to interactive context-dependent `org-paste-subtree'. In the current state, things are way too fragile to touch them without risking unexpected breakage in various corner cases. It would be nice to factor out context-sensitive handling in `org-paste-subtree' into some kind of API function. Then, we can use that function more safely in other places like org-archive. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
