In the C++ standard, sections and paragraphs are named, not numbered. |

It's probably easiest to look at a PDF: |

So what I'd like to be able to do is have it say "see section |
21 |
[funcs.src_unpack.3]" rather than "see section 1.2.3.4", and then when |
22 |
we have a labelled section, lay it out something like: |
23 |
|
24 |
src_unpack, type 3 [funcs.src_unpack.3] |
25 |
|

I realise this is somewhat getting away from your original patch. But I |
27 |
strongly suspect that the cheat sheet will be a lot more useful if |
28 |
it has references to exactly what the new src_unpack is, for when |
29 |
people need to look it up -- and it would help if people didn't have to |
30 |
print out a new cheatsheet to get valid section references every time |
31 |
we tweak the wording in such a way that the section numbers change... |
