If the org file has no headers, everything is deleted #81

I wrote a document with no headers (I forgot to add them), then added

at the top.

The moment I saved the file, everything was deleted.

It might be useful to have some type of marker to delimite where the old header ends, so it does not delete text beyond that.

Hey, @dmgerman !

Well, Org does have a marker for that. Namely, a star character * to start a new header. I'm not sure Org has anything else and in that case, I'm not sure toc-org needs to invent/introduce a way to do this. Please, let me know if you have some specific ideas

One idea I have: if the file has no header (*, except for the :toc: one), then do nothing.
