@Hedron: fair enough. As you know, using sections is not compulsory, but is preferable. You could avoid using them using the techniques that you mention. I did think along similar lines when namespace was introduced in many coding languages -- why add another level of hierarchy and complication when enough code had already been written without it.
Over time, the opinion may change between fanciful, useful, good-practice, how-could-i-live-without-it phases. Let me know when you transit such states.
