You could maybe have a look at the bug report where this was discussed :
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6389

So that looks nice, but we would still need the current structure for
unofficial repositories.

Hm, I'd say no here. The pacman.conf file follows the very simple INI
format, but ALSO allows one to expand a given section by adding severs
above the include.

Do you have a way to do that? Say I wanted to add a Sever = http://foo
to just extra.
