Perhaps the optional >level parameter should not only take 0..n as arguments, but + and - as well? . . What do you think about the \section{section caption} ... \end{section} (or something alike, it should probably also begin with \begin{section}{..} )? This has the same advantage as the +/- approach, i.e. moving "trees" of subsections around. O.K. its a bit more typing but it is more consistent with the rest of LaTeX's syntax.
