Well, if so (the proof-reading usage), I can leave the idea of
making it the default behaviour, but there is still place for them as
"hidden" possibility.

If someone ask, it's easier to point him to place in code, or just
tell him to use e.g. "@thissectionheading", instead of describing
where to go in TEXINFO.TEX and what to change.  The possibility will
be waiting.

If not default, these additional commands with "heading" appended to
them, or any other name, can be "hidden" options, so it would not
change anything.  Someone would have to use them with premeditation.

P.S.  It's related, so I'll ask here, could you make "@thistitle" used
by predefined headings like "@headings double", to NOT appear on new
chapter pages, as well as e.g. short contents, table of contents (all
pages of them)?
