Well, if they don't want to touch internal bzrlib functions, they need
to. The only way to access non-standard sections in standard bzr config
file is to either use private _get_parser() or instanciate ConfigObj on
it's own. Of course most plugins just use _get_parser(), but having an
public API for accessing it would be a much better solution.
