Well, the symbol is a "section sign":

so not really.

Oh no, not at all, that's not how you use that symbol.

1. The section reference is very difficult to type - it's not on most
keyboards, and you have to have its relevant code point memorized.
2. One can always type things manually; the point of this bug is to offer this
symbol to be prefixed, in the dialog; and you wouldn't need to choose it every
time - the choice would persist so that it would be added next time you
reference a section if you don't un-check the box.
3. People who are not aware of this custom will not think of typing in the
section symbol, especially since (1.)
