For now this only supports the following sections: * Core Enhancements * Security * Incompatible Changes * Utility Changes
but die the next time we encounter them
in position_of_next_header, the search stops (and fails) whenever a header of higher level is encountered

This covers almost all cases. The goal is that the release manager will only have the editing work left, and not have to spend time copy/pasting sections from the individual deltas into the final one.
