What about a slightly inside-out version of this, with an optional complication:

- allow BEGIN-CUSTOM/END-CUSTOM (or whatever term works best) tags that signal
code that should be left untouched/preserved, with potentially multiple
sections.

- additionally, maybe allow something like AFTER-<sectionname>, that would put a
textarea in the setup.php config form after the conf section named, containing
that custom code block. That way you could more accurately keep custom code
with the settings that it affected.
