+This tool is used during CI testing to make sure sphinx raise no error.
+
+During development, we like to have whatsnew/pr/*.rst documents to track
+individual new features. Unfortunately they other either:
+  - have no title (sphinx complains)
+  - are not included in any toctree (sphinx complain)
+
+This fix-them up by "inventing" a title, before building the docs. At release
+time, these title and files will anyway be rewritten into the actual release
+notes.
