 That allows you to process sections both before and after all options were
 processed.
 
+Another way of iterating on config sections is using the \texttt{config\_foreach} command.

+Syntax:
+\begin{Verbatim}
+config_foreach <function name> [<sectiontype>] [<arguments...>]
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+This command will run the supplied function for every single config section in the currently
+loaded config. The section name will be passed to the function as argument 1.
+If the section type is added to the command line, the function will only be called for
+sections of the given type.

 You can access already processed options with the \texttt{config\_get} command

 \begin{Verbatim}
-config_get <section> <option>            # prints the value of the option

+While it is possible, using unnamed sections through these autogenerated names is
