The title is not supposed to give a quick overview of a the different
sections, it is supposed to give a quick overview of the whole page.

Options:
1. Don't bother about this.
2. Disallow the other ways of getting this, or change them so they don't
   get the same thing.
3. Tell users who are bothered by this to switch on section numbering.

I don't want Wikipedia to look ugly just so some option that I don't know
yet whether I will use it at all and certainly did not miss when it did
not exist works better.
