Many clients of IDialogSettings#getSection(String) are not interested in whether the section already exists or not. They just want that section.

Since there's no API for this on IDialogSettings, client code is full of boilerplate code like this:
    IDialogSettings section = MyPlugin.getDefault().getDialogSettings().
            getSection(sectionName);
    if (section == null) {
	section = MyPlugin.getDefault().getDialogSettings().
		addNewSection(sectionName);
    }

Since we can't change IDialogSettings any more, the best solution I see is to add this as a static method
    DialogSettings#getOrCreateSection(IDialogSettings, String)
