New description:

 {{{
 It would be nice when the config-file parser would have
 a similar mechanism to allow and collect unregistered
 options like the command-line parser.

 E.g. with the command-line parser I can use the
 allow_unregistered() method, but config-file parser
 throws always a boost::program_options::unknown_option
 exception.

 I want this feature e.g. to express things like

 | module = A
 | module = B
 | [A]
 | foo = X
 | [B]
 | bar = Y

 where the options in the [A] and [B] sections are
 unknown at the first pass.
