I agree.  The hundreds that would result from file-per-function, or
anything close to that, would be too many.  But I can deal with
file-per-sect1.  For context, I count currently 167 sgml/*.sgml files
plus 219 ref/*.sgml, so adding 30 more would be an 8% increase.

Do we want to use a "func-" prefix on the file names?  I could
imagine dispensing with that as unnecessary; or another idea
could be to make a new subdirectory func/ for these.
