No. You'll have to add -confsection=debug to have a [debug] section parsed. We
can always add such a feature later, but it would be very hard to subtract it
if it turns out to not be right.

I don't see any reason to add more.

I'd rather do without such, preferring to keep things simple and easy to
explain.
