It does now -- for single record, I get
/files/etc/sssd/sssd.conf/target[1]/dns_discovery_domain = "domain.com"
for two records I get
/files/etc/sssd/sssd.conf/target[1]/dns_discovery_domain[1] =
"domain.com"
/files/etc/sssd/sssd.conf/target[1]/dns_discovery_domain[2] =
"xdomain.com"

Could you elaborate?

I'd say this should not be part of any low level library. Knowledge
of semantics is required for that so if this is needed, it should be
a separate tool on top of either low level code.

This might be true but the question is, how often is this needed? You
typically have some existing sssd.conf state and you want to do some
modifications to it based on software you plan to enable or add to the
configuration. I'd guess you usually do not have seconf completely
working configuration, wanting to merge the two. If you have
conflicting values for single-valued key, generic tool will not help
to resolve the conflict.

Using set #comment should work.

True.
