I've been thinking over this a bit, and I feel that the pseudo-article
thing isn't all that useful.  You have these articles that respond to
some commands, but not to others, and they are kinda awkward.  I'm
more in favor of the nndoc approach -- split the thing into parts,
fudge up sensible headers for stuff that doesn't have it, and present
the user with a new summary buffer...
