/** @file config-lookup.h
 ** Lookup of configuration keys in a low-level configuration system.
 ** Configuration keys are dynamically stored in a splay tree.
 ** This happens for defaults, loaded config files and entries which are set explicitly.
 ** The system maintains no central registry of all possible keys.
 ** We store here the full keys of config entries as well as the keys of section prefixes.
 ** Section prefixes are stored with a trailing dot to disambiguate them from entry keys.
 ** 
 ** @warning since 2012 it is not clear if we retain this kind of configuration system.
 ** @todo as of 2016, the code is still there but remains mostly unused
