Description

There does not appear to be a way to get the global section from INIConfiguration.subset(). As an example, with the file

; start
default = ok
var1 = default

[]
var1 = empty1
var2 = empty2
; end

calling INIConfiguration.subset("") or INIConfiguration.subset(null) returns a Configuration with the contents:
var1 = empty1
var2 = empty2

I expected that INIConfiguration.subset(null) would return a Configuration with the contents:
default = ok
var1 = default
