Yeah.  I've found this new feature useful multiple times already,
but the '#' icon is as non-mnemonic and unobvious as could possibly
be.  OTOH, I don't know of a standard icon for this feature.

I wonder if we could make a tooltip worded like "link to this header"
pop up when you hover over the '#'?  That'd improve things a lot
even if we had a better icon.

A different idea is to dispense with the icon and make the section
title itself be a link to itself.
