Description

Some open documentation issues:

In the current documentation (1.3) there is for the Configuration#getString() method not documented, of this method returns a null string, if no value for the key was found.

It should also be documented, if the given key can be null or not. For example if I can give a null key, null will be returned would be enough in this case.

Configuration#getStringArray point not to a documentation (or gives no hint), that there is a way to configure the seperator for keys. Would be nice to have this in this place with a link to the seperator stuff.
