Sections already nest! So, yeah, it's just meant for lists.

It been there since 96 as far as I can see. Funnily enough
written by Barry Warsaw, who also wrote the ht2html environment
that I use.
Emacs needs more of this. "assoc" is really nice. Building alists
use to be a complete pain in the ass. With the recent introduction
of hashtables, it's now getting a reasonable set of higher level
data tools. I wish they'd put elib in as standard also.
Add on top of that some better GUI tools-- when I wrote my pabbrev
package, I had to write a "dialog" because emacs didn't have one.
Actually, worse, it had one with ispell but it's inseperable.
Finally, I want semantic, (a bison port for emacs). The parsing
functionality in muse is nicely done, and well written, but when
reading it, I do think "this must have been done before". Semantic
would be a great way to go for all of the many "language aware"
packages in Emacs, muse included.
So, I rambling. There's always new packages to discover (did you ever
see sregex...wonderful!), but I still want more!!!
