I there a way to restore the old M-RET behavior? 

I use it all the time when brainstorming:  Often, when I see that the 
headline I'm typing is getting too complicated, I find that it needs to 
be broken into sub topics -- easy to do when you can walk the cursor 
through the headline and break it up with M-ret.

Suppose I've typed:

* Danish Bakfietsen: extended front wheel centers mass, adds steering 
linkage, cost, handling?

This is too long, and I have more info to add.  After a couple of 
M-ret's and M-right arrows, I have:

* Danish Bakfietsen
** extended front wheel centers mass
** adds steering linkage, cost, handling?

I realize that I will have a lot to say about cost and handling, so I 
M-ret again:

* Danish Bakfietsen
** extended front wheel centers mass
** adds steering linkage,
*** cost,
*** handling?

For me, one of the biggest org mode strengths is how quickly you can map 
out a thought and then reorganize with a few quick keystrokes -- the old 
M-ret behavior is just one example.  Based on listserv traffic, it 
sounds like most people use org mode for task tracking and GTD, so maybe 
my usage scenario is too outside of the mainstream, but still, I really 
liked  M-ret the way it was.

Keep up the good work,
