Whoops, that references documentation added in a later patch (not
included in this patchset). Thanks for pointing this out, will fix in
next revision.

Hmmm...I am pretty sure it wasn't complaining to me, but that might
just be because I didn't build with the right verbosity options or
something.

My experience mostly comes from Markdown which doesn't care about this.

In any case, after some random spot checks it looks like everyone else
uniformly keeps the line under sections to be the same length. So it
looks like I need to fix this regardless.

Will fix in the next revision. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks!
