hey! I'm glad you saw that, I was working on it :)

I have commited a postfix libconf template, and a test suite. The postfix
template handles the multiline. I have added 2 special variables into
Libconf.pm to make it easier, $switch_to_next_atom and $switch_to_prev_atom.

Their use is easier than deal with $keep_atom.

I have asked a friend of mine about it, it seems that any \s character (space,
tab...) at the very beginning of the line means that it's the same atom.
