>
> So far, there is no direct way for a hierarchical configuration to obtain all
> elements contained in a given section (i.e. the child elements of a specific
> key). This can be achieved by operating on a {{ConfigurationNode}} object
> directly, but this is a low-level API, and for further processing of the
> element's content it might be necessary to create a {{SubNodeConfiguration}}
> around the node again.
> Therefore, it makes sense to extend the API of {{HierarchicalConfiguration}}.
> A method can be added - similar to {{configurationsAt()}} - which expects a
> key, locates the corresponding node, and then creates
> {{SubNodeConfiguration}} objects for all direct children of this node.
> It would also be useful to provide a way to query a configuration for the
> name of its root element. This makes it easier to deal with dynamic
> configuration structures.
