Much better, thanks.

While here, I noticed this:

[[[
% zstyle \* group-name '' 
% zstyle \* format '> %d' 
% zstyle \* separate-sections true 
% man ut
> manual page, section 2 (system calls)
utime             utimensat

utf8       utime
> manual page, section 7 (miscellanea)
utf-8        utf8         utime.h      utmpx.h
]]]

This lists utime(2), utime(3), utf8(3perl), utf8(7), and utime.h(7posix), among
others.  Should there be separate groups for each section, i.e., one group for
each of (2 3 3perl 7 7posix)?  (This is orthogonal to dana's patch.)

Cheers,
