1. This could be a useful commandline option.

2. You could accomplish the same with a
https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter jinja2 project template.

    * There could be variations on such a template e.g. with default
headings for:
      *
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method#Elements_of_the_scientific_method
      * { Abstract, Question, Hypothesis, Experiment, Observations/Data,
Analysis, Conclusion, ... }
