Thank you. Though this doesn't seem to matter (see below).

What does that mean? What does that do for me? Again, see below.

Interestingly, I only made the second change and it appeared to  
recognize my sectioning commands without making the first. That is, I  
made the change to the LaTeX language file as:

begin = '((\\(?:(?:(s|S)ub)*section ...

and the function pop-up now shows (I hope attachments are ok):

which is, I suppose, what I would expect. It doesn't seem to change  
anything if I include the change in the symbol list.

In fact, I just did a test and made the change only in the symbol  
list and then the function pop-up does not find my sectioning  
commands that start with an upper-case "s". See:

That is no problem, though I must admit to being a bit confused at  
this point. :-)
