Hi Daniel, I do!

This is a good idea, and I have implemented it.  The structures are
now

   (class-name
    header-string
      (numbered-heading . unnumbered-heading)
      .......)

or

   (class-name
    header-string
      (numbered-open numbered-close unnumbered-open unnumbered-close)
      .......)

Mixtures of the two are also allowed.
