I think that's true even with two sections. What if I override autcBasic with
my own bean/filter in the [filter] section ?
I would not bother with this issue as long as it's documented.
More generally, I prefer simple things, that means simple code too. Both
solutions will work for me and all I have to say is : got the simpler/smarter
way according to the underlying code so that it's easy to understand/maintain.
