    Hi, Arpi!

    But we have recursive parsing already for CONF_TYPE_SUBCONFIG. Beside
of that, this extra complexity is only one or two lines inside of parser
(depending on implementation), for example (before strcmp, of course):

if (opt->type==CONF_TYPE_GROUP && (err=read_config(....))==ERR_NOT_AN_OPTION)
  continue;

and I don't think if that advantage is too small. It'll allow you don't
create own type of option if you use a GUI and don't add lines above in
the GUI's config parser in that case but use default. :)

    With best wishes.
