/*
  wxFileConfig derives from base Config and implements file based config class,
  i.e. it uses ASCII disk files to store the information. These files are
  alternatively called INI, .conf or .rc in the documentation. They are
  organized in groups or sections, which can nest (i.e. a group contains
  subgroups, which contain their own subgroups &c). Each group has some
  number of entries, which are "key = value" pairs. More precisely, the format
  is:

  # comments are allowed after either ';' or '#' (Win/UNIX standard)

  # blank lines (as above) are ignored

  # global entries are members of special (no name) top group
  written_for = Windows
  platform    = Linux

  # the start of the group 'Foo'
  [Foo]                           # may put comments like this also
  # following 3 lines are entries
  key = value
  another_key = "  strings with spaces in the beginning should be quoted, \
                   otherwise the spaces are lost"
  last_key = but you don't have to put " normally (nor quote them, like here)

  # subgroup of the group 'Foo'
  # (order is not important, only the name is: separator is '/', as in paths)
  [Foo/Bar]
  # entries prefixed with "!" are immutable, i.e. can't be changed if they are
  # set in the system-wide config file
  !special_key = value
  bar_entry = whatever

  [Foo/Bar/Fubar]   # depth is (theoretically :-) unlimited
  # may have the same name as key in another section
  bar_entry = whatever not

  You have {read/write/delete}Entry functions (guess what they do) and also
  setCurrentPath to select current group. enum{Subgroups/Entries} allow you
  to get all entries in the config file (in the current group). Finally,
  flush() writes immediately all changed entries to disk (otherwise it would
  be done automatically in dtor)

  wxFileConfig manages not less than 2 config files for each program: global
  and local (or system and user if you prefer). Entries are read from both of
  them and the local entries override the global ones unless the latter is
  immutable (prefixed with '!') in which case a warning message is generated
  and local value is ignored. Of course, the changes are always written to local
  file only.
