Evidence of wider use:  "The three act play." A structure used WIDELY in plays,
novels, and movies. Since ancient Greece.

Benefit for programming? I can't believe given the wide availability of
excellent and free IDE's for programming that anyone uses libre writer for
programming. 

I've made my request and outlined the use for it. If you don't want to
implement it close this one and move on to the next ticket. It's probably not
worth the effort to setup a build environment. I'll put a bounty on it or fork
the code to make a word processor for writers.
