IMHO, this kind of linking isn't that great
anyawy. We should use
proper anchors, as section names change so quickly (much more so than
article names, at any rate), and there isn't (afaik) any way of
finding out what links exist to a given section.
And it causes unmemorable and long urls that are unsuited to Usenet
articles and emails.
For common ones, you can set up redirects to the section heading. That
works, thankfully.
That's welcome news: they didn't work the last time that I checked (1.5.x;
just confirmed on 1.5.6), but I see that they do on a 1.6.5 install.

Eep. :)
There are variations that avoid extras in the heading, but short of a core
code patch they're also flawed.
