Description

I have questions regarding the equivalence or non-equivalence of nesting vs '.' notation for config items
and why braces do not appear to result in 'nested' values ...
for example:

foo {
    bar {
        password="value"
    }
    fruit="orange"
}

produces a ConfigObject containing foo.bar

{password="value",fruit="orange"}

(i.e., the 'fruit' item is nested under 'bar')

while

foo {
    bar.password="value"
    fruit="orange"
}

produces a ConfigObject containing foo{bar

{password="value"}

,fruit="orange"}
'bar' and 'fruit' are siblings, with bar having a child (password) ...
