The automatic array creation feature [1] seems misguided. It means that as a programmer consuming a configuration file, i can't know whether a given field will be a scalar or an array. I recently worked on a JavaScript API that had that behaviour, and it was a pain.

Apart from that, though, this looks like a really good format.
