To create any object, we need to specify initial state and steps to apply on. Pycnfg offers pattern to pipeline-wise code execution, that naturally allows to control all parameters via single configuration dictionary.

There are could be arbitrary number of sections/configurations. Cross-configurations interaction goes through special storage objects.
