I'm not being facetious_. "Section" is the generic term most Microsoft
Word users would use to describe a chapter or appendix. An application
handling a "section" directive doesn't need to worry about having an
insufficiently large list of words used in headings to describe a new
section. Chapter and Appendix are obvious. `Fit the First` isn't.
.. facetious: well, not there, anyway. :)
.. _Fit the First: `The Hunting of the Snark: an Agony in Eight Fits`_,
by Lewis Carroll.
