Though I don't know how such rephrasing should look like.

No, I don't think it is needed, but it can be done.

git_group_html / git_subgroup_html / git_subsection_html
print_group / print_subgroup / print_section / print_subsection

It needs either *_html suffix (like git_header_html), or print_* prefix
to denote that it prints HTML fragment, I think.

The 'ARRAY' part is probably unnecessary overengineering.

Or even (in the vein of further overengineering)

    +     } elsif (ref($content) eq 'SCALAR') {
    +             print esc_html($$content);
    +     } elsif (!ref($content) && defined($content)) {
    +             print $content;
    +     }

or vice versa ;-)

Though I don't know how to check that.  ref on filehandles return
'GLOB'... well, we can use 'openhandle' from Scalar::Util (core).
But that is probably unnecessary overengineering.
