please don't answer too quickly; if you think about it a second (in
the context of the thread) you will realize that I wrote about
syntactically and semantically correct config files that are too
complex for the parser.
For, samba, a config file overwriting some global setting indirectly
with the line
include = /etc/smb.conf.%m
occurring later in the config file (%m expands into the client machine
name) is already tough for the parser (and the ui displaying the
data).

PS: If you really succeed in writing such a parser correctly, it
should be easy to additionally make it ask me in such a case if I
want to start a new samba configuration from scratch and where I
want it to save my misplaced email :-))
