Comment (by folletto):

 > filter the permalinks for pages registered as sections to point to the
 home URL with the post ID as a hash

 I'm not sure about this. Why do we want to restrict the pages to be
 accessible exclusively from the homepage? It seem a decision up to the
 site owner. Some links in the homepage might point to the same page, that
 will also act as a perfect landing page, or being entirely disconnected
 from the menu and not indexed.

 I find also not ideal in general to force rewrite the URL in that way to
 the homepage, as the resource is simply not available at that location, so
 that URL either never existed, or changed shape in such a form that is not
 relevant having a redirect, but it's better handled by a 404 page.

 So: what's the rationale behind that decision?
