Re: [Configobj-develop] Applying validator to section/subsection names

[Eli C. <el...@co...>]

This is not currently possible, unfortunately.

Your suggestion seems good.  It reads well, though it's not technically
backwards-compatible, since it eliminates the ability for people to have
config options called __name__ within a section.  With that being said,
this might be an extreme-enough edge case that we'd be okay with it.  At
the very least it seems worth considering.

I've created an issue for this in our Github:
