I was primarily thinking of that.

Ok, then we keep the current behaviour of the NULL section and update the
docs accordingly.

Especially compared with the following IMHO big drawback: you just got your
custom config file from the setup program and you're adding a pretty nice
new section to store specific datas; as you find them very important,
you put the section at the beginning of the config file.
Guess what happens next ? You spend roughly an hour trying to figure out why
Allegro doesn't understand your graphics settings any longer ! I tested.
