<pre>Some configuration files support the following pattern:
[SomeObjectType foo]
somekey = somevalue
[SomeObjectType bar]
somekey = someothervalue
In the above example, "SomeObjectType" identifies a type for an object, and
"foo" and "bar" identify the object. Currently pa_config_parser doesn't
understand anything about this, however; it just sees that there are two
section with names "SomeObjectType foo" and "SomeObjectType bar". This means
that parsing the object names is pushed to the code that is using
pa_config_parser. The object names are parsed every time a config value
assignment is done, which is redundant work, and makes the parsing more
complicated, and it also prevents us from printing the line number of the
section header when a missing or invalid object name is encountered.
So, pa_config_parser should be extended so that it natively understands the
concept of object names in section headers, so that the users of
pa_config_parser can easily fetch the object name without having to parse it
themselves.</pre>
