Hi,

First time poster and recently started using org-mode and so far 
enjoying it :)

One nag I do have though is how moving of basic lists are handled.
I constantly bump into "First item of list cannot move without its 
subtree"

Is there a way to avoid this error and instead be given the option to 
say "Please just move it up to the next level" ?

What I often have is that I during a meeting or brain dump do this:

```
* Some important topic
   - idea 1, some notes
   - idea 2, another note
   - idea 3, a third note
```

And then I go over these and I use the shift/alt+keys to reorder the 
ideas up and down and eventually I would like to do this:

```
* Some important topic
   - idea 1, some notes
   ** TODO idea 2, another note
   - idea 3, a third note
```

I know I can press a short cut to make it a top item, but why can't I 
just use the normal standard tree editing keys ?

Is there a way to have org-mode ask what kind of thing it should do when 
I move the lists "out-of-bounds" instead
of just error out on me ?

Thank you,
