[jira] Updated: (CONFIGURATION-326) INIConfiguration does not provide a way to get global subset

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-326?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Charles Honton updated CONFIGURATION-326:
-----------------------------------------

    Description: 
There does not appear to be a way to get the global section from INIConfiguration.subset().  As an example,  with the file

; start
default = ok
var1 = default

[]
var1 = empty1
var2 = empty2
; end 

calling INIConfiguration.subset("")  or INIConfiguration.subset(null) returns a Configuration with the contents:
var1 = empty1
var2 = empty2

I expected that INIConfiguration.subset(null) would return a Configuration with the contents:
default = ok
var1 = default
