Sections are really nice if you have 1 config file with different things
that use the same option.

As in with Moniker we have a for example different Backends which are the
ways we handle DNS servers, some of these use different
"database_connection" settings for example. We also have others but it's
just to demonstrate the value of sections vs everything in DEFAULT.

See it here:
