You are the second person to make such a point (the other person did so
off the list) within a very short time of my asking, so it must be a
good idea. :-)
There is a reason for having the "main" section first (for some command
line options, such as -bp, -Mxxx, -bi, Exim doesn't read any further).
However, there are no constraints on the rest. One possible way of doing
this would be to abolish the "end" delimiter, and instead have lines
such as "begin acl", "begin transports" and so on, with no required
order. How does that sound?
