If some form of tagging was implemented it would be easier to merge the three categories and then just tag them as apporpriate.

Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree. There's already been some talk about this and such a system seems to be already in place, somehow. A tagging system would solve many problems at once, and not only this specific one of code-like sections. It would give an alternative to those wanting "a new section for"... it would reduce the number of sections actually very similar to each other... it may comprise special, "official", tags that would help triggering specific actions, and so on. I dream of a truly tag-powered PM, like those social bookmarking sites, but... better than them, because this is PM!
