 * If any two configuration files located inside the **same** environment path (such as `conf/base/`) contain the same top-level key, the configuration loader raises a `ValueError` indicating that duplicates are not allowed.
 * If two configuration files contain the same top-level key but are in **different** environment paths (for example, one in `conf/base/`, another in `conf/local/`) then the last loaded path (`conf/local/`) takes precedence as the key value. `ConfigLoader.get` does not raise any errors but a `DEBUG` level log message is emitted with information on the overridden keys.
 
-When using any of the configuration loaders, any top-level keys that start with `_` are considered hidden (or reserved) and are ignored. Those keys will neither trigger a key duplication error nor appear in the resulting configuration dictionary. However, you can still use such keys, for example, as [YAML anchors and aliases](https://www.educative.io/blog/advanced-yaml-syntax-cheatsheet#anchors)
