Additions to documentation toolbar

Dear LyX developers,

I've been documenting a LaTeX program recently and have found the 
documentation toolbar useful, but this has highlighted a couple of 
symbols which could usefully be added to the toolbar. One is the section 
mark character § (\S in LaTeX), the other the pilcrow ¶ (\P). At present 
inserting these characters involves Insert > Special Character > Symbols 
and then locating the characters in the character table (which means 
scrolling down or increasing the depth of the dialogue window). They 
would fit perhaps after the information symbol `i'.

Referring to chapter 4 or section 4.3 is fine but it begins to sound 
strained referring to subsection 4.3.2 and just silly referencing 
subsubsection 4.3.2.1. On the other hand, referencing §4.3.2.1 is simple 
and elegant.

Andrew
