I just looked at the code and extending it to support your suggestion
would be quite a challenge.  AFAICS `LaTeX-current-section',
`LaTeX-down-section' and `LaTeX-up-section' would all have to return
more information than just the section level.  Namely the section name
and a flag indicating if it is a starred version.  (Instead of
providing a flag the star could be part of the section name.)
Juggling with a complex return value in and between the functions
mentioned above feels a bit odd and kludgy, though.
