actual config format

The dot in the section name is simply a separator to denote the object hierarchy. I am not so fit with javascript. Are you trying to evaluate section names?

Yes.
dotcar is a JS object (by prototypejs):

Code:

dotcar.wheel_fl_brake.area

works

Code:

dotcar.wheel.fl.brake.area

doesn´t work
It´s not a severe problem for me, the workaround was simple.
But it demonstrates, that a name (string) is not a hierarchy. Point syntax is often used for this, so another character may be better for a "flat" section name, "_" or ":".
