INI file structure (which I believe the config file follows) does not
support hierarchical sections. What you CAN do is something like:

[TopLevels]
topsections=AAA, DDD

[AAA]
sections=BBB, CCC

[BBB]
a=1
b=1

[CCC]
a=1
b=2

[DDD]
sections=EEE

[EEE]
a=3
b=4

	In other words, YOU have to define the nesting hierarchy by
specifying keys that identify the sections in the next level down.
