I know. My suggestion complements hierarchical keys:

 [myporcelain.headproperties: my/head.name]
    merge.candidates = my/other.head
    merge.default = your/master

would be the same as

 [myporcelain.headproperties]
    merge.candidates = my/other.head for my/head.name
    merge.default = your/master for my/head.name

It is about specifying the same " for "-part for multiple keys.
The idea is to use everything after a ":\s*" in a section name
to use as prefix for any " for "-part of keys values given in
this section.
