Excellent, thanks Diego! That did partly solve the problem and will mostly cover
my usecase, but it gets bit trickier :)
Say that entire gets removed from the promise (or some devious person
added new one to the config file manually). Now the delete_lines select_region
is set to use the block that we give it, but all passes will ignore everything
that's outside the promised block(s).
This will leave me with invalid config. To possibly complicate things even
further with delete_lines, I can have same option = value entries in different
blocks.
