Problematic. To be consequent, we will then have to evaluate all values 
(ints, lists) and require strings to be quoted. I also don't like the 
thought that config values will need to be evaluated *every* time you're 
accessing them. If you use ConfigObj, they are only evaluated once.

I think the original config parser has such methods. Maybe we need to 
proxy them or something.

Ok, I'll summarize this in a ticket so we can rethink and improve the 
TG2 config system and the configurability of the templating system until 
the next release. I understand this is not easy to change because the 
config usage is so interwoven with Paste and Pylons - now the problems 
we had with the CherryPy 2 config are haunting us here as well.
