Yes, I agree. But having 15 entries that look like "2.3" isn't any 
better. Prior to this change, we got a mix of "2.3" and "Ref: LABEL", 
but that's due to a bug which I'm about to fix.

I agree that context is what would be most helpful here. And, yes, I'd 
think we could put the label itself into some 'hidden' field, and run 
the filter on that. I don't know how expensive the context thing would be.

Done.
