API directives - one extra nesting level?
Description
If you query variable directives via the API it seems they're nested one level too deep.
See the screenshot, and i'm not 100% sure, but this could be something for $future to make the API a bit more friendly to use.

Hum.
For an explanation before even trying to know if it is ok: it is due to the structure of directive parameters: there is a root section (unique, root tag in XML fashion), and under it there is the section for each real section.
Moreover, we are encapsulating each set of parameter in a section.
So what you see is the actual tree of parameters for the directive - in a "just dump the damn thing" mode.
So, is it ok ?
I don't think it is at all OK. And clearly, there is a lot of redondancy, not even in "section", but also in "var" - we could have an array of pairs or something.
The problem right now is that breaking changes in API are a bad thing. So we need to have to really take some time to make the change sufficiently compeling people are not upsetted by the need to change their scripts.
