What is exactly the feature you are missing? Your example is a special
case where _no_ heading is numbered. But we also had to deal with
situations where only _some_ headings were numbered.

In any case, this change solves two problems:

1. it makes all export back-ends consistent with TOC;

2. it allows to use, e.g., @heading instead of @unnumberedsec in Texinfo
   export. Thus, we don't need to provide a way to determine which one
   should be used.

I admit the second point is probably only convenient for the lazy me:
I don't have to find a proper way to support @heading commands in
Texinfo export anymore.
