Why does this proposal https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0036-ki... start with Section 36? (It is proposal 36.) Lots of other proposals do this too. Can it be fixed? Thanks Simon

That's a great question. The header contains .. sectnum:: :start: 36 which mpickering added in [1]. mpickering, what was the motivation for this? Cheers, - Ben [1] https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/commit/5c2fa009a369df39cf60eb...

The ..sectnum is necessary so that when you render all the proposals
together then the numbering is coherent.
What happens if you move the ..sectnum to above the title?
On that note, I think there should be a site where you can view the
rendered proposals rather than having to do so via github preview.
Cheers,

It seems if you move all the metainfo to above the title then it
renders correctly.
Should be easy enough to fix if someone feels strongly about how these
are rendered.
