Very nice!

This should be configurable with a style. I've attached a patch which
does that. This also means that section 1 can be excluded as follows:
  zstyle ':completion:*:manuals.(^1*)' insert-sections true
I prefer this, especially on Solaris because there the prefix needs to
include the -s option and that is then a common prefix to all matches.

PS. Sorry for seperately attaching the patch but otherwise Yahoo's
webmail would wrap the lines.
