Hello,

I should probably re-read Dominik's book but before I'll do that, can you help 
me with one problem. I'm still confused (as in "I forget" not "I don't 
understand") about module importing. Yesterday I was trying to hack a little 
toy I wanted to configure with ini files. I found configparser in Nimble and 
started writing code.

Let's assume I have two function, one responsible for picking up a file by file 
name and returning a string, the second one loads it into configparser and gets 
an usable object out of it.
    
    
    import configparser
    
    proc parseConfiguration(ini: string): Ini =
        # real stuff going on here
        var ini = parseIni(ini)
        return ini
    

My problem is, there's no Ini type. I've read the configparser source code and 
it's there, but it has no star-export next to its definition.

So, in short I can't return an result of type that seems to be undefined (not 
exported from a library) that I get from a library's "constructor".

**I think I just rubberducked myself out of this problem** , I put auto as a 
return type and it compiled and worked. Is that reasonable solution?
