so SaCkptSectionWrite to checkpoint A section named "sectionA"  How does
it map section A to a section?

I suppose one option is
checkpoints object
	checkpoint A
		sections object
			section A
			section B

So it would be something like
object_get ("checkpoints/A/sections/A");

That would probably work for the config case too.

interfaces directive in config file would be
object_get ("totem/interfaces/1");
