I'm curious how this works. Does this mean for every sectional unit  
(\section, \subsection, \subsubsection, \paragraph, etc.), LaTeX  
looks first for a specific definition such as \@seccntformatsection,  
\@seccntformatsubsection, etc.; and that, if it does, then it uses  
this specific definition, and otherwise uses the standard  
\@seccntformat as a fallback?
