/** @file config.h
** Interface for a lumiera configuration system (draft).
** This configuration uses ini-style configuration files and supports some
** simple types. A mechanism for overlay / cascading was planned. After some
** debate it turned out that we had no clear vision regarding the scope of
** that effort: should this system also manage (layered) defaults? should
** it also be able to save user preferences? Anyway, development in that
** area stalled and never reached the level of just loading and parsing
** a simple file -- yet this was not considered a roadblock and we agreed
** to revisit the topic when we've gained a better understanding of
** session storage and management of default values and user preferences.
**
** @see lumiera::BasicSetup simple start-up configuration
** @see http://lumiera.org/documentation/technical/backend/ConfigLoader.html ConfigLoader draft from 2008
