Yes.  Didn=E2=80=99t know about UNNUMBERED, thanks, it is of interest for t=
his issue.

As said in the previously mentioned stackoverflow question: helps
seeing where you are and how much sections are there.  To me it is
especially useful to avoid writing manually the number of the section to
know I=E2=80=99m currently in =E2=80=9Cexercice 8=E2=80=9D or something ali=
ke.

Btw, some desirable feature as well would be automatic naming (as I
already do sometimes in LaTeX), such as appending whole =E2=80=9CExercice 8=
=E2=80=9D or
=E2=80=9CSection 8=E2=80=9D for a desired specific level, instead of just a=
 number.
