Should org-insert-heading leave a blank line before new heading/item? The value is an alist, with heading and plain-list-item as CAR, and a boolean flag as CDR. The cdr may also be the symbol auto, in which case Org will look at the surrounding headings/items and try to make an intelligent decision whether to insert a blank line or not.
