Many application ini files have some kind of default-section. Consider the

Ok I see your point. There was a support for default values in 
PropertiesConfiguration some time ago but we removed it in favor of 
CompositeConfiguration. For consistency I think we will apply the same 
reasoning for INIConfiguration, that means you can emulate a similar 
behaviour with:

Configuration iniconf = new INIConfiguration("config.ini");
CompositeConfiguration conf = new CompositeConfiguration();
conf.addConfiguration(iniconf.subset("section1"));
conf.addConfiguration(iniconf.subset("default"));
conf.getString("val") -> returns 50
To make it easier I could add a method in INIConfiguration that build 
this CompositeConfiguration automatically. Something like:

Configuration conf = iniconf.getSection("section1", "default");
conf.getString("val");
