  I'm not sure there's much to gain there.  We have one [core] section,
and the other sections already correspond to plugins.

  I don't think the *.ini format allows for subsections.

  Con: we've only just finished the migration to the new settings
system.  Renaming sections or variables would certainly be possible, but
there would need to be clear advantages to counter the cost (in
development time and user confusion) of another migration.

  Pro: I don't know, but if you proposed the change you probably have
some in mind?
