class Util_API FilesystemConfiguration: public AbstractConfiguration
	/// An implementation of AbstractConfiguration that stores configuration data
	/// in a directory hierarchy in the filesystem.
	///
	/// Every period-separated part of a property name is represented
	/// as a directory in the filesystem, relative to the base directory.
	/// Values are stored in files named "data".
	///
	/// All changes to properties are immediately persisted in the filesystem.
	///
	/// For example, a configuration consisting of the properties
	/// 
	///   logging.loggers.root.channel.class = ConsoleChannel
	///   logging.loggers.app.name = Application
	///   logging.loggers.app.channel = c1
	///   logging.formatters.f1.class = PatternFormatter
	///   logging.formatters.f1.pattern = [%p] %t
	///
	/// is stored in the filesystem as follows:
	///
	///   logging/
	///           loggers/
	///                   root/
	///                        channel/
	///                                class/
	///                                      data ("ConsoleChannel")
	///                   app/
	///                       name/
	///                            data ("Application")
	///                       channel/
	///                               data ("c1")
	///           formatters/
	///                      f1/
	///                         class/
	///                               data ("PatternFormatter")
	///                         pattern/
	///                                 data ("[%p] %t")
