I looked at that option.  If the section was a hash reference,
"#section_name", we could just add another hash, but in this case the
section name is part of the file name:

    https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/default-roles.html

We can make that work in a backward-compatible way by changing the
displayed section title, but not the file name.  I am not sure if that
would confuse people though.  We could also add a redirect at the web
server level, but then you have to start to wonder whether the entire
rename clarification is worth it for back branches.
