I do think we can. Unnumbered sectioning commands never appear in the ToC...
Unless you use additional magic like, for example,
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/11668/adding-unnumbered-sections-to-toc
.
So I suppose the quick fix is what I sent and then we can try to implement
something like:
```

\section*{Introduction}\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Introduction}

```
or
```

% Package 'hyperref' needed for command
'\nameref'\section*{Introduction}\label{sec:intro}

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\nameref{sec:intro}}
```
Although it goes quite against the \section vs \section* philosophy and it
would need more that a quick fix.

Best, /PA
