Subject: Add new section to a page
Original description:
Hi\! Wikipedia.Page has now to saving methods, put\(newtext\) and put\_async\(newtext\). I ask you to introduce a third one: newsection\(title,newtext\). It should work as ...action=edit&section=new, so we shouldn't bother the old content of the page to add something to the end.

Thanks a lot\!

Version: core-(2.0)
Severity: enhancement
