/** This class implements a config file-like interface over a memory-stored
 * string list.
 *
 * Use base class `CConfigFileBase`'s methods
 * `read_{int,float,double,string,...}()` and `write()` to actually read and
 * write values.
 *
 * It can also parse a YAML text block and expose its fields (up to the first
 * level of hierarchy, as allowed by INI-like files). This can be used to port
 * MRPT classes relying on INI files to using YAML files transparently.
 * This feature required building MRPT with yaml-cpp, and is provided by
 * CConfigFileMemory::setContentFromYAML().
 *
 * See: \ref config_file_format
 *
 * \ingroup mrpt_base_grp
 * \note YAML support was introduced in MRPT 1.9.9
