I have a custom function in load_environment that chnages the config
var types and aborts if it can't, checks for required vars, and sets
defaults for optional ones. However, it has since occurred to me that
this would be a good job for a FormEncode schema, although you'd need
some workaround for the dotted variable names, and meaningful error
messages ("variable X in the [app] section of /a/b/c/development.ini
must be numeric").
I do think this should all be done in load_environment rather than ad
hoc whenever the value is used, because not only does that keep
parsing all in one place, but it prevents the application from
crashing in possibly obscure situations.
