    36   This function returns the number of sections found in a dictionary.
       
    37   The test to recognize sections is done on the string stored in the
       
    38   dictionary: a section name is given as "section" whereas a key is
       
    39   stored as "section:key", thus the test looks for entries that do not
       
    40   contain a colon.
       
    41 
       
    42   This clearly fails in the case a section name contains a colon, but
       
    43   this should simply be avoided.
