I still recall getting scolded by Linus after writing [sec.tion]; this was
way back when he was still active on this list. I essentially was told
that [sec "tion"] is _the_ only supported way, and [sec.tion] may work but
it purely does by accident, not by design.

Do we still even list the bogus [section.SUBSECTION] syntax anywhere in
our docs? If so, we should remove them and if not we simply just should
deprecate the code to read such input.
