Useful for reporting invalid values.
If a key <i>k</i> isn’t given a value in the configuration, but a key of the form
<i>k</i><code>.</code><i>j</i> is, then the
- location of the definition of an arbitrary such key
- should be considered the location of <i>k</i>.
+ location of the definition of the earliest such key
+ should be considered the location of <i>k</i>. Here “earliest” means having
+ the least line number; when there are keys from multiple files to consider
+ (as may be the case in merged configurations),
+ which one is earliest is determined arbitrarily.
