README doesn't match actual behaviour
From README.md:
UCL accepts named keys and organize them into objects hierarchy internally. Here is an example of this process:
section "blah" { key = value; } section foo { key = value; }is converted to the following object:
section { blah { key = value; } foo { key = value; } }
Yet section is currently parsed as a list of multiple dicts instead of a unified dict:
In [1]: import ucl
In [2]: ucl.load('''
...: section "blah" {
...: key = value;
...: }
...: section foo {
...: key = value;
...: }
...: ''')
Out[2]: {'section': [{'blah': {'key': 'value'}}, {'foo': {'key': 'value'}}]}
No idea whether this is actual regression or just docs being outdated, hence this issue.
Tested with:
libucl $ git show
commit edf094c0d2150e1494a877cbe06b651a306a0589 (HEAD, tag: 0.9.0)
I can confirm that the resulting UCL parser root object contains a multi-valued "section" which presents to most ways to iterate/emit the object as an (implicit) array of multiple sub-objects instead of a single merged sub-object.
