Les Hazlewood updated SHIRO-153:
--------------------------------

    Summary: INI config - allow [filters] section to define non-filter objects 
(for DI configuration) as well as reference objects in [main]  (was: INI config 
- remove [filters] section and have all objects (including filters) configured 
in the [main] section)

Redefining this issue after looking over the source code - we don't want our 
default filters potentially conflicting in name with user-defined beans in the 
[main] section, so keeping a [filters] section still makes sense.

It should be even more powerful however in that any type of object can also be 
defined in the [filters] section, for the purpose of DI configuration for 
filter objects (e.g. someFilter.property1 = $aPojoReference if necessary).

Also, for the same reason, a filter might need to reference a bean defined in 
[main], so the following should be possible as well:

[main]
bar = com.foo.Bar

[filters]
bazFilter = com.foo.BazFilter
bazFilter.bar = $bar

But objects in [main] should typically not be able to reference those in the 
[filters] section.

>
> The [main] section and the [filters] section are really just a pool of 
> objects, keyed by name, but the pools can't 'share' objects from one another. 
>  So if you configured something in [main] that needed to be referenced from a 
> custom filter in [filters], that is not possible at the moment.  By putting 
> everything in the main 'pool', objects can reference each other as needed.
