Public bug reported:

When using multidimensional data elements and datasets with multiple
catcombos, data set sections can be used to group data elements by
catcombo and to provide titles for each generated table.

Sometimes it also makes sense to split a long list of data elements with
the same catcombo into sections (smaller tables) based on their meaning.

When using sections and default forms then the generated tables should
be generated off the sections and not the catcombos. Right now you will
get one big table per catcombo eben though you might have defined
several sections, which seems strange.

Not sure we have restriction formally defined yet, but I would like to
see a restriction on data set sections to only have 1 catcombo. Then it
would be easy enough to create one table per section when generating the
default form.
