Hmm most probably I did not explain correctly: [end] is not the start
of a new group called "end", but it's the closing tag for a group.
So back to my example:

| foo=var
| [group1]
| var=value
| [end]
| foo2=var2
| [group2]
| var=value
| [end]

there are:
- a un-grouped entry "foo" with value "var"
- a group "group1" with a "var" entry
- a un-grouped entry "foo2" with value "var2"
- a group "group2" with a "var" entry

Groups (with entries in it) and un-grouped entries mix freely in the
configuration file.
