TOML-like setting groups/sections [Enchancement]

[pkubik]

Right now adding and removing new config values is quite tedious as we need to repeat the class/function name for each field:

MyClass.batch_size = 100
MyClass.num_epochs = 100
...

If the gin format resemble TOML so much, it would seem natural to introduce the section headers, i.e.:

[MyClass]
batch_size = 100
num_epochs = 100
...

We have thought about this but never found a nice Pythonic way to implemented it. If you have suggestions and want to make a proposal, please do so.

Is there any issue where it was already discussed?

We are working on a version that would allow using indentation to avoid repetition.

Scope/module.MyClass:
  batch_size = 100
  num_epochs = 100

#Equivalted to

Scope/module.MyClass.batch_size = 100
Scope/module.MyClass.num_epochs = 100

Staty tuned.

Hi, @sguada. Is this currently working?

Thanks,
