ok, I can see the benefit of moving all the commands inside 'hg config',
but gui.username could eventually conflict with a section named gui.

How about this syntax?

hg config [-l|--local] section.key [value]

Sets config option in hgrc:
[section]
key=value

Local flag toggles between ~/.hgrc and $root/.hg/hgrc

If the first argument has no period, check if it's a GUI
request (username, webconf, etc), else abort

The value argument can be omitted to create:
[section]
key=
