            string grpName = String.IsNullOrEmpty(group.Name) ? "{root}" : group.Name;
            Console.WriteLine("+ Section Group: {0}; Sub-groups: {1}; Sections: {2}",

            foreach (SectionGroup grp in group.SectionGroups)

            }

            string path = String.Concat(group.Name, "/");

            foreach (SectionDefinition def in group.Sections)
            {
                Console.Write("".PadLeft(indentLevel, ' '));
                Console.WriteLine("|_Name:                {0}", String.Concat(path,def.Name));

                Console.WriteLine("|_AllowDefinition:     {0}", def.AllowDefinition);

                Console.Write("".PadLeft(indentLevel, ' '));
                Console.WriteLine("|_Type:                {0}\r\n", 
                    String.IsNullOrEmpty(def.Type) ? "null" : def.Type);
            }
        }

    }
