# It will call die if I<$cfg_obj> is not a valid B<Advanced::Config> object or
# the I<$section> is missing or already in use.

# Returns a reference to this new object.

# ==============================================================

=item ($v[, $s]) = apply_modifier ( $config, $value, $tag, $rule, $sub_rule, $file )

This is a helper method to F<expand_variables>.  Not for public use.

This function takes the rule specified by I<$rule> and applies it against
the I<$value> with assistance from the I<$sub_rule>.

It returns the edited I<value> and whether applying the modifier made it
I<sensitive>. (-1 means it's an encrypted value.  -2 means it's the variable
name that resolves to an encrypted value.  0 - Non-senitive, 1 - Sensitive.)
