I tried the following:

diff --git a/lisp/emacs-lisp/shortdoc.el b/lisp/emacs-lisp/shortdoc.el
index 658edd6752..fd79cf5116 100644

+              outline-regexp "[A-Z(]"))
 
 (defun shortdoc--goto-section (arg sym &optional reverse)
   (unless (natnump arg)

But then hiding levels made the display pretty weird:

So if we want that, it needs more work.
