nice.

Config-Files are for static content. IMO It's plain bad and wrong to add
this to Config_File.class.php.

If you need CONST-magic inside your Config-Files, write a resource
that does this replacement and read your config-files through it.

AFAIK, the only way to access these is {$smarty.config.overwritted[0]}.
And I think this should also be the first thing to do if you want to enable
config-vars-arrays in the template: Just remove the

$_max_index = 3;

limitation in the "config" case of Smarty_Compiler::_compile_smarty_ref()

That's much simpler and less prone to errors than extending the
#...#-syntax.
