--[==[
Headings must follow \n, \r or the page start, with no intervening characters (including whitespace). They must be followed by \n, \r or the page end, with any spaces and tabs after the final equals sign being ignored. The heading must have a length of at least 1 character (which can be whitespace), and cannot contain \n or \r.
The max heading level is 6. Any that try to go beyond this are still level 6, with the extra equals signs being incorporated into the start and end of the heading text.
The function below first removes any HTML comments, then iterates over all the section headings on a page. It accurately handles the following horrible inputs:
	"===abc==" (level 2 heading "=abc");
	"= =" (level 1 heading with just a space);
	"======" (level 2 heading "==");
	"=======abc=======" (level 6 heading "=abc=");
	"==" (plaintext "==", so no match).
