Ok, I gave this idea a second thought. If "sections" simply mean
multiple "rows" (ie a numeric array) of the same set of fields, but
without any nesting, I'm for it.

For pageTS configuration multiple "rows" of the same field set won't
change much. You just configure "the" field and by this you will
configure all fields on all "rows".

For FE rendering it becomes only slightly more complex as you would need
to have two features:

* a way to iterate over all rows
* a way to address a single row via it's index
