In both styles, same key words are automatically merged when parsing it
at boot time. So you can append similar trees or key-values.

Same-key Values
---------------

It is prohibited that two or more values or arrays share a same-key.
For example,::

 foo = bar, baz
 foo = qux  # !ERROR! we can not re-define same key

If you want to append the value to existing key as an array member,
you can use ``+=`` operator. For example::

 foo = bar, baz
 foo += qux

In this case, the key ``foo`` has ``bar``, ``baz`` and ``qux``.

However, a sub-key and a value can not co-exist under a parent key.
For example, following config is NOT allowed.::

 foo = value1
 foo.bar = value2 # !ERROR! subkey "bar" and value "value1" can NOT co-exist
