This specific config format you're discussing strikes me as error prone and barely useful. With the use case you've given I cannot justify introducing support for it in the standard library. Remember that each switch, variant, however obscure and rarely used, increases source code complexity and introduces a maintenance burden.
As you've seen with the freshly introduced `strict` option, we're generally heading the other direction: to let application users know early they potentially made a misconfiguration that could confuse them later on.
So, thanks for your feedback but unfortunately I will have to say no to that proposal.
