+   
+   In some instances involing filenames it is possible to set the default
+   directory when the path is evaluated. This means you can use relative
+   paths within the sub scope.
+   
+   The configuration directives are specified in a tree with {} designating
+   a subscope relative to the tag before the {}. You can further specify
+   a subscope using scope notation eg,
+     APT::Architecture "i386";
+   This is prefixed with the current scope. Scope notation must be used
+   if an option is specified on the command line with -o.
