How about we do it like this, by default gaze expects a spell name, if
it doesn't exist it will return info on a section if that exists. But
also incluse a --spell <name> and --section <name> options if you want
to be explicit about it or need to make a distinction beteen clashes.
That makes it fine for interactive use (you normally use it like we do
now, and only use --section when you need to distinguish between a name
clash) and also takes care of any ambiguities in non-interactive use
(you simply be explicit).
