Description
Just a simple example:
QgsSettings settings;
settings.begingGroup( "my_group" );
settings.setValue( "my_key", 7, QgsSettings::Section::App )
results with:
[my_group]
app/key=7
Shouldn't beginGroup() optionally accept QgsSettings::Section? Like that:
void beginGroup( const QString &prefix, const QgsSettings::Section section = QgsSettings::Section::NoSection );
I marked it as a bug, as it causes rather unexpected results and makes beginGroup() more or less useless.
