A problem is that your syntax is ambiguous: a service name may
contain ".", the same character that you propose to use as the
separator between service name and column name (in fact any non-space
character is permitted though '/' might be a problem).
> service.submission.class = smtpd
> service.submission.address = 0.0.0.0
> service.submission.port = 587
> service.submission.name = submission
I want to complete the support for the existing configuration file
formats, before I start to consider semantical changes.
