For example, to connect different databases according to different requests, there are some options stored in a config file, like this:

[DB1]
server=172.16.21.1
database=dbname1
userid=someone1
password=xxxxxx

[DB2]
server=172.16.21.2
database=dbname2
userid=someone2
password=oooooo

i.e. with same key name in different sectors.

In Win32 API, this method is very handy:
    // to get "server" in "[DB1]"
    char buf[256];
    GetPrivateProfileString (""DB1, "server", "", buf, sizeof(buf), "configfile.ini");

Is there a mechanism in "Program Options Library" to support this config file?
Or, does it intend to support?

Thanks!
