In this case, the key ``foo`` has ``bar``, ``baz`` and ``qux``.

+Moreover, sub-keys and a value can co-exist under a parent key.
+For example, following config is allowed.::

foo = value1
- foo.bar = value2 # !ERROR! subkey "bar" and value "value1" can NOT co-exist
- foo.bar := value2 # !ERROR! even with the override operator, this is NOT allowed.
+ foo.bar = value2
+ foo := value3 # This will update foo's value.

+Note, since there is no syntax to add raw value in the structured
+key, you have to define it outside of the brace. For example::
+
+ foo.bar = value1
+ foo.bar {
+ baz = value2
+ qux = value3
+ }
+
+Also, the order of the value node under a key is fixed. If there
+are a value and subkeys, the value is always the first child node
+of the key. Thus if user specifies subkeys first, e.g.::
+
+ foo.bar = value1
+ foo = value2
+
+In the program (and /proc/bootconfig), it will be shown as below::
+
+ foo = value2
+ foo.bar = value1
