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
