Yes, after extracting section_name_match.

It's not so immediate, because rename_section has to print all the non-section lines anyway, while remove_section has to remove them too.  I agree though that there is some duplicate code in getting the filename to open.
Thanks for writing the test, having an example will make my future work easier.
