This suggests a much easier way to specify org-mode regex patterns.  I knew 
about this possibility several days ago, but I wanted to give regex's a 
chance to show what they can do.  They failed ;-)

Instead of contortions trying to specify \1, the declutter mechanism should 
support this:

RULE :([\w_@]+:)+\s*$
REPLACE-HEAD

This tells the declutter code to replace the headline by the text *preceding 
*the matched text.  Similarly:

- REPLACE-TAIL replaces the headline by the text that *follows* the matched 
text.

- REPLACE-REST replaces the headline by everything *except* the matched 
text.

These should be easy to do.
