This commit modifies the COBOL parser and lexer to correctly recognize the SECTION keyword. Previously, SECTION was not explicitly handled and could fall under a general NAME pattern, leading to incorrect parsing or lost warnings. This change ensures that SECTION is now treated as a distinct token, restoring expected warning behavior.
