A Nice write-up. I am not sure if an introduction of a whole section
"config" is necessary, it seems that there is no that much of a
difference from the functionality of editfile, if proper command gets
introduced. Even more -- it would get advantage of using advanced
editfile constructs to determine sections etc, so in files like
apache/ssh configs you would be able to do local to some section
(virtual host definition/hosts subgroup in ssh) changes.

So as for me - it is that your already prototyped macro is missing
from real implementation :-)
