Actually, the mechanics would be pretty simple.  Determining when you want
to do this (on a local or wiki-wide basis) could be a real issue.

I'll look for a better way, but as a temporary measure, you can get this
(globally) by patching includes/Article.php in function replaceSection():

Well, that would completely muck up any text at the top and also how
would you decide where it gets cut off (a new magic word maybe).
