// This package implements a parser for configuration files.
// This allows easy reading and writing of structured configuration files.
//
// Given the configuration file:
//
//	[default]
//	host = example.com
//	port = 443
//	php = on
//
//	[service-1]
//	host = s1.example.com
//	allow-writing = false
//
// To read this configuration file, do:
//
//	c, err := conf.ReadConfigFile("server.conf")
//	c.GetString("default", "host")               // returns example.com
//	c.GetInt("", "port")                         // returns 443 (assumes "default")
//	c.GetBool("", "php")                         // returns true
//	c.GetString("service-1", "host")             // returns s1.example.com
//	c.GetBool("service-1","allow-writing")       // returns false
//	c.GetInt("service-1", "port")                // returns 0 and a GetError
//
// Note that all section and option names are case insensitive. All values are case
// sensitive.
//
// Goconfig's string substitution syntax has not been removed. However, it may be
// taken out or modified in the future.
