The concrete usecase is having some form of nesting available for a
shared_library.

shared_preload_libraries = 'bdr'

bdr.a.xxx = '...'
bdr.b.dsn = '...'

So? What does the one existing level SQL have to do with
postgresql.conf? And why is it messy?

Not that as I said before
SET foo.bar.blub = '1'; currently is already allowed.
