/**
 *      Acedia makes extensive use of `perobjectconfig` for storing information
 *  in ini config files. Their data is usually stored in ini config files as:
 *  "[<config_object_name> <data_class_name>]".
 *  Making a child class for `AcediaConfig` defines "<data_class_name>" and
 *  contents of appropriate section. Then any such class can have multiple
 *  records with different "<config_object_name>" values. The only requirement
 *  is that "<config_object_name>" must only contain latin letters, digits,
 *  dot ('.') and underscore ('_'). Otherwise they will be ignored.

/**
 *      This class deals with several issues related to use of such objects,
 *  steming from the lack of documentation:
 *
 *  1. Not all `Object` names are a usable.
 *      [Beyond Unreal wiki](
 *      https://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:PerObjectConfig)
 *      lists a couple of limitations: whitespace and ']' character.
 *      However there are more, including '.'. 
 *      We limit available character set to ASCII latin letters, digits and
 *      the dot ('.') / underscore ('_'). Dot is a forbidden character, but it
 *      is often used in class names and, therefore, was added via workaround:
 *      it is automatically converted into colon ':' character to allow its
 *      storage inside ini config files. It also will not lead to the name
 *      conflicts, since colon is a forbidden character for `AcediaConfig`.
 *  2. Behavior of loading `perobjectconfig`-objects a second time is wonky and
 *      is fixed by `AcediaConfig`: it provides concrete behavior guarantees
 *      for all of its config object-managing methods.
