What's the rationale for stripping namespaces? It looks like hashes are 
supported, so the above could be configured with something like:

Configurability.configure_objects({
  :user => {:foo => 'bar'},
  ...
})

It seems to me that I'd want something more like this:

Configurability.configure_objects({
  :acme => {
    :user => {:foo => 'bar'}
  },
  ...
})

Especially since the whole point of namespacing things is to avoid naming 
conflicts, so I could conceivably have:

Configurability.configure_objects({
  :acme => {
    :user = {:foo => 'bar'},
    :anvil => {
      :user => 'Wile E. Coyote'
    }
  },
  :examplecorp => {
    :user => {:something => 'else'}
  }
})

It looks like I could still do something like that by overriding the config 
key, but that would flatten it to:

Configurability.configure_objects({
  :acme_user => {:foo => 'bar'},
  :acme_anvil => {:user => 'Wile E. Coyote'},
  :examplecorp_user => {:something => 'else'}
})
