Okay. What about this config file?

-- snip --
	[myporcelain.headproperties: my/head.name]
		merge.candidates = my/other.head
	[myporcelain.headproperties]
		merge.candidates = blabla for my/head.name
-- snap --

I am not totally opposed to what you are trying, but I think it 
contradicts the KISS principle. (Note: the restriction that key names must
not start with a digit is also a contradiction to that.)
