I discussed this at length with gustavo on irc: while I do understand why he
wants to do this, I would personally go another route:

1) keep the current std::string context string in callback signatures
2) provide a Config::Path class which can be constructed from a string (cannot
be converted back to a string) and which performs the string parsing for you to
allow you to call simple methods such as GetElementAsString (1) or
GetElementAsUint32 (2)

Basically, I would take gustavo's proposed code but I would not use it as the
default context in callback signatures.

So, to summarize, I think that gustavo's code is useful. The only question is
how we want to integrate it and although I disagree with gustavo on how it
should be integrated, I don't think it is that important so, if anyone agrees
with gustavo, feel free to apply the patch as-is.
