Hi Branden,

I agree with you that I'd prefer that section headings didn't shout at the 
reader.  However, I've waited to do such a change, because I'm not sure about 
it.  There's a good thing about having them in uppercase: references to them are 
also in uppercase, and that makes it easy to grep for them (I need to do that 
from time to time).

Do you have any opinion on that?

Cheers,

Alex
