Note that this modified version of the function is derived from
org-export-ignore-headlines from ox-extra.el [1]
However, a part of the original function code is omitted.
AFAIU, this version also discards the headline contents, in addition to
the headline itself (unlike what org-export-ignore-headlines does).

Note that discarding headline + contents is also supported using
:NOEXPORT: tag.
