+Same-key Values
+---------------
+
+It is prohibited that two or more values or arrays share a same-key.
+For example,::
+
+ foo = bar, baz
+ foo = qux  # !ERROR! we can not re-define same key
+
+If you want to append the value to existing key as an array member,
+you can use ``+=`` operator. For example::
+
+ foo = bar, baz
+ foo += qux
+
+In this case, the key ``foo`` has ``bar``, ``baz`` and ``qux``.
+
+However, a sub-key and a value can not co-exist under a parent key.
+For example, following config is NOT allowed.::
+
+ foo = value1
+ foo.bar = value2 # !ERROR! subkey "bar" and value "value1" can NOT co-exist
