Agreed that it's a big change, but it's certainly possible. Requires its own discussion...

Fwiw +1

Mysql's ini file supports includes (!includedir and it supports wildcards), so people are used to the syntax and it can follow a pseudo-standard if you may.

Ideally all ini parsing would support it. Kills multiple birds with one stone. I can see many applications for this. Might want to ensure parse_ini_file() has no security issues though by allowing it. If so a flag whether or not include syntax is supported should be put in and pass it as false for that "userland" function.

Php aleady supports scanning a single directory for more config info but different distros use it differently and it can only be changed during configure time. This negates that need too.

Slighty OT but also slightly relevant :)
