The config tree, the full tree is, something that exists in memory. Actual
config files often contain only a subset of the tree. Multiple config files
-(e.g. system level, user level, settings from the .pcb file) are loaded and
+(e.g. system level, user level, settings from the board file) are loaded and
merged to form the final config tree. The hierarchy of the tree is represented
by setting groups, which are like directories on a file system. Actual settings
are always leaves of the tree, placed in a specific group at any level (just

the way settings are stored is flexible and extensible so that a plugin can define their subtree of settings
... since the API even makes it easier to access such settings (vs. parsing your own config file), plugins will tend to use the unified config format/system instead of inventing their own
