In https://public-inbox.org/git/7vvc8alzat.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ a reasonable patch was made quite a bit less so by changing a test case demonstrating a bug to a test case that demonstrates that we ask for too much: the test case 'unsetting the last key in a section removes header' now expects a future bug fix to be able to determine whether a free-form comment above a section header refers to said section or not. Rather than shooting for the stars (and not even getting off the ground), let's start shooting for something obtainable and be reasonably confident that we *can* get it.
