Oliver Heger resolved CONFIGURATION-326.
----------------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.6

The new {{HierarchicalINIConfiguration}} class has a {{getSection()}} method, which returns the content of the specified section as a sub configuration. By passing in the section name {{null}} the content of the global section can be retrieved.

> 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
