yeah it doesn't work very well for nested environments at the moment,  
and I haven't had time to see if I can fix it.

That should be doable, someone asked for it already. I'll try to get  
it done some time in the next couple of days. Essentially what needs  
to be done is this:

1. The command accepts as input the selection or document, and has  
output to replace selected text.
2. The command then reads its stdin, and looks for the last  
appearance of a section/subsection/chapter/part/paragraph...
3. It then makes the change and sends the text back out.

I think this could be done in about 10 lines at most, with a ruby  
script. I'll see if I can hack it some time soon, unless someone  
beats me to it.
