Well, if it's not  strict enough it will make it hard to differenciate
different kind of ssh configurations.
And this would only covers configuration in /etc, not the ones in
~/.ssh, so it would be necessary to add ~/.ssh/ssh_config.d/ to the
list.

That's actually a good idea imho. Does anyone have something for/against that ?
It would simplify configurations inclusion, and it will set a base
"standard" so ~/.ssh/ssh_config.d would make sense too and could be
indicated in the man page.

I'm willing to write the patch for it if it were to be accepted, and
then submit it, but I'm not sure where I could submit this since there
was so little answer to my current proposal.

Regards,
